Plumbing – Removing cartridge from mixer tap – recessed nut

kitchensplumbing

I am trying to remove a cartridge from a mixer tap, and faced with this recessed nut that I cannot get a wrench around. It's also an unusual shape (well, not hexagonal). There is no maker name on the tap. Any tips for removing the cartridge?

Pretty sure that's a Carron faucet from UK. The design looks like you pull out the stem after the clip is removed. Similar to many other brand's designs like American Standard.
