Outdoor tap help please

[PaulP123]

Hi all,

I would appreciate some help - I have an outdoor tap that leaks around the spindle. However there isn’t anywhere to tighten it/take apart and renew PTFE tape. Decided on a new tap but it won’t line up correctly despite adding lots of PTFE. Any suggestions?! TIA

I think with that style of old tap the gland nut is hidden under the bell like cover, the cover should unscrew, maybe use a cloth under some gas pliers to get a better grip.
