Our kitchen sink is equipped with one of those ceramic disc mixer taps with a single lever which moves left/right to select hot/cold and up/down to alter flow rate. Over the last day or two, the up/down movement has become quite stiff and jerky and I'm wondering if this is fixable. I've taken apart and cleaned a few normal (rotating) ceramic cartridges to cure drips but have no idea whether stripping it down would be possible in this case. I also struggling to visualise how the up/down on/off mechanism works and what might be the cause of the stiffness. Anyone got any ideas/suggestions?

TIA as always.
