Servicing D.A. Taps

[MCT]

Hey all, while I'm trying to work out what I am going to do with my font, I thought I'd give my taps a strip down and clean.
I've got half of it disassembled, but am a bit stuck here.

Anybody know how to get the piece out that is circled so that I can get to the springs etc?
Can't see anything, I'm probably missing something really stupid here :unsure:
Thanks.

Edit, title is sposed to be Servicing D.A. taps, not "da taps". I'm not a rapper :lol:

You'll need to unscrew the larger diameter piece with the hole in it, they are designed for using a C spanner (similar to this http://www.andale.com.au/userfiles/product_images/274_1.jpg) although you may be able to get it undone with out it (say using bench vice to hold it with padding on the jaws)
Andale have an exploded view of the tap on their website http://www.andale.com.au/userfiles/product_images/98_2.jpg

Thanks heaps mate. It looked like that was one whole cast piece.
Got it sorted.

FYI - I was at an Andale shop today and they have service kits for their taps (new seals and springs) for around $6

Legend mate, thanks.
I've got the cellarman at the local club doing them for me tomorrow :beerbang: It's good to know that I can get them straight from Andale.

BTW, does anybody know know what sort of metal these taps are made of? I'm looking at getting a font replated and I'm thinking I might get some certain parts of these taps done at the same time.
