The problem with the screwfix one is the bath is very close to a wall and there's little space to manoeuvre. I can't get a fixed spanner on two flats. The one I've got 'grips' the nut and the grip tightens as force is applied (see my original tiny url). The handle swings out to give around 12" of leverage and once the nut loosens the handle swings down to give more of a turn. Screwfix sell them (14631).
I've approached the problem from the other end by dismantling the tap top end. I believe the problem is a buckled, brass, spring pin (I thought they were called roll pins) that locks the mechanism together. I can't drift it out. If I can source another I'll drill it out. I can find other materials so far, but not brass. I might have to bodge it.
