HELP

[Huntinjunkie]

Just reading some of the comments on here I can tell most of y'all have never replaced a faucet. There is no room behind the sink for a hammer and screwdriver. there is barely enough room for your hand. And if you want to know why plumbers charge so much this is one of the reasons.

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?

right....like the retriever forum is all about retrieving?

Big screwdriver, not the one from your wife's tool kit, from the side. It ain't pretty and certainly not easy.

Flat head and hammer.

Fulcrum and lever. Not ever tool is used as it is designed.

If that fails, Lowes sells a $30 tool that you'll never use again to remove it.

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.

Yes i see that on the computer this morning looked on to of vanity on cell phone. I even have a basin wrench.

Y'all are mean as hell. Fish has made a conscience effort here lately to be nice to most of you idiots and this is the thanks he gets for it? I swear.....

I’ve got your fucking chickens. I’ve also got all these new strange and mysterious tools that do weird shit, like make stuff disappear, when I mash em.

Do you need helping using those new tools too?

[Fish]

Apparently.

That gold escutcheon on the top screws off of the stem. Hold bottom and screw off with channel locks.

[2thDoc]

escutcheon


There. I said it.

[Sheep]

Go to 3:00 or so.

He does loosen the bottom nut, but also removes the eschutcheon.

The stem removes from the bottom,not the top....the eschutcheon is threaded and has to come off.

assuming the sink is epoxied in and not on clamps, right? if all else fails and it's clamped in, I have removed the sink...

Don't you have some centipedes to squish or some other important task

And the majority of my wife's tools are ones that I left laying around and she picked up.
