Here's the deal:
I want to progress my bathroom sink faucet. I was competent to loosen the cold water nut underneath my sink next to a basin wrench. But the hot river nut won't budge. It is like freakin' fused. I applied solution plumber and WD-40, clamped onto it with a vise grips and tried turning the vise grips beside a huge wrench. IT WILL NOT BUDGE!! I'm at my wits end!
Any suggestions?
Thanks to adjectives who answer.
Answers: Yip had alike problem today on my car sump nuts. Put a chisel on it and start to slap it with a tack hammer. If no luck let the hot river run through for 2 mins. This is why it is stuck, it heats and cools and heat and cools, this causes expansion and contraction which through time locks the nut. Make sure when you hit it near chisel you are going in the right direction. But firstly if the nut is not rounded bring a decent tight fitting spanner, turn on the hot hit, let it run and im sure it'll afford. Good luck
