Kitchen Faucet Removal Problem?
Im installing a new kitchen faucet. I have disconnected all hoses and the sprayer from the kitchen sink. I have disconnected the handles and stem.
My problem is Im not sure how to remove the two washers directly under the sink handles for cold and hot. Once I get them off I should be able to remove the remaining locking nut on each side.
Any suggestions to get these rusted pesky washers off?
I have the following tools at my disposal:
Basin Wrench
Pliers
Screwdrivers
Drill
Dremel Rotary Tool
Small Chisel
Hammer
Mallet (Metal and rubber)
plus pretty much any other basic tools.
Any help much appreciated.
Oh yeah, I meant to say the washers are in the cabinet area of sink, directly under the handles. I believe it's considered a bottom mount faucet.
if you cant' get it, if you have a top mount sink, its just easier to take the sink out then get to it from there, Then you can reseat the sink back into the hole with fresh putty, that way you know the sink is secure, and wont' have to take it out later. Its not complicating to remove the sink, usually takes just screwdriver or nut driver adn remove the retaining clips. It may soudn like a hastle but has saved me hours of time in more than one job. But if you dont want to do this, the best option like was mentioned is to take a dremel with cutoff and score the bolt loose. It will be a hard squeeze getting the dremel positioned exaclty where you want it to be productive. Dremels have many many uses, and one of my favorite tools. I strongly recommend pb blaster, it is 100 times better than wd40 and less mess, little thicker, and well worth the cost.
oh yeh for your safety, remove all wd-40 and other lubricants off the screw, the liquid is flamable and the spark from the dremel can/will start a fire. fire extinguisher just in case is cheap insurance.
