You just need to get a really good grip on the stem with a big pair of pliers or multigrips, and pull hard. Beware though, as the washer stem and backing may separate suddenly from the rubber part itself. If that happens you can generally deform the rubber enough to get it out.

This tap is for the shower and due to the depth of the wall there is a spindle extender. So before I could get at the washer I needed to unscrew another 'extender body housing' (don't know the correct name). Once this came off, I could get at the washer which came out fairly easily, do the reseating, and insert a new washer, then screw in the extra housing, then the spindle together with the spindle extender.
