Hi
Had a leak from elbow joint which have now removed and replaced with a flexible pipe with an isolator. This impressed the missus
Unfortunately when I took the nut off the tap the plastic tap tail broke off with it. Nett result I can't screw the tap end of the flexible pipe on.
(this produced a grunt from the missus)
I know ,I thought, I take the tap off and referesh the tails by removing the snapped part.
Have fallen at the first hurdle however as I can't get the plastic back nut which holds the tap on, off. Firstly there is no packing so it is recessed right up the basin which means I can't get a basin wrench in there. Have purchase a thinner "tap tool" which does at an angle give some grip but not enough. There is a hell of a lot of crusty gunk around this nut think it was installed in the 70s
I've tried loosening the tap but it is not turning at all.
I'm sure someone is going to say WD40......grateful for any advice. LPG
