Default Quick Q for a plumber about taps?

Ok here goes,

We just bought a house and some taps are leaking, so i went to fix them, but I cant dissasemble the tap to replace the washers, etc.

Now I believe and it has always been this way in other taps i have repaired:
TURN THE WATER OFF
1. remove the little hot/cold button on top (done this)
2. remove the handle to turn tap on/off (done this)
3. remove flange (the big chrome bit) should be screw off ... IT DONT COME OFF :( :jab:
4. undo the rest of the tap bits, replace washers seals etc and put it back together.


Step 4 is not happening, have I got it wrong and forgotten some basics.
I have tried a big pair of adjustable pliers, i can grip it, but with all the force i can apply it just slips and does not budge.

please help :
