    Plumbing Help

    What are the standard size on brass bits under neath to secure bathroom faucet? They are 3/4 thread on but what is the OD
    Looking for a socket to break loose these brass nuts
    They are larger than 1” as that’s the largest I have

    They make a tool called a basin wrench. It will reach ur to those hard to get to areas.

        Basin wrench is universal. It's $10-15 at your local hardware store.

                I was a repair plumber for 40 years , if you can’t get them lose with a basin wrench, I,ve used a pipe wrench on the basin wrench , but I,ve had use I. Sawzall to cut them off from the top . Just tear it apart and be careful not to scratch your sink, I,m in College Station area , if you’re close and need help, I,m retired and could help there’s a lot of different ways like was said before, a socket wrench with a extension works good too

                  Appreciate it
                  I’m in Tyler
                  I’ll drill it off. I ain’t worried about messing threads up on existing faucet as I have a new one. I’m bound & determine to get that sucker off one way or another
