HELP

[Fish]

That link to the basin wrench is the answer. I’ll get one tomorrow.

Thank you for the help, guys.

Did you get the other one out? I see a hole.

That's for the spout

Make sure that escutcheon on the top side that's over that stem doesn't turn... I see a scenario where that might turn off allowing the other piece to fall through the granite. I doubt it, but just make sure.

You need a basin buddy. Lowes should have them.

Take the sink bowl out and will have more room

[ScLowCountry]

Also if they are one piece you can turn the body and not the nut

Looks like a job for a hammer to me.

If you are trashing the faucet, grab this brass eschutcheon with channelocs and turn. It is threaded. Maybe need vice grips on the underside to hold it.
Don't overthink it.

This is what I was thinking but rather put a wrench on the valve and just unscrew from the top side. The rough side underneath side of the granite should hold in place enough to break the threads lose.

It most definitely will drop through once you get the brass escutcheon on top off. Turning from the bottom won't really help. Don't waste your money on the basin wrench it won't work with this faucet. Looks like an old crane faucet.

Flat head and hammer.

This.

Ask your husband.

or this.

[Simple Man]

A flat screwgey or a chisel will free it. Just a tap. Not a master plumber but fixtures are usually secured from under neath. Surprised at what you got on top. Knocker loose and get her done.

I believe that IS underneath.

That's the kind of thing that'll make a man cuss an engineer. You can't tell me there wasn't a reason that even a jam nut wouldn't work. But that basin wrench posted above *may open up enough to get a bite on that. Even still, the thin nature of that "nut" will make you swear. And I know how you swear.

with all the stupid "reality" shit on TV these days, wouldnt people tune in to some live feed in FISH's house as he gets frustrated with stuff like this?

I mean, I'd probably watch, just for laughs.

I’ve taken the valve out of the stem. This is not an answer. The stem is solid and held in place by that thin nut.

This fixture is solid brass. Not cheap stuff with those big plastic nuts.

Didn’t mean to edit your post, mashed the wrong button.

What I was trying to say is that this is the how to forum. This is where you ask questions like this, right?
