How to remove super tight sink faucet supply hose nut
Home Improvement Asked by Tom Hu on March 4, 2021
I am trying to remove this supply line nut but it is on super tight. and because it is connected to a softer pipe just right below it, the whole thing moves along when I try to unscrew the nut so I can’t get much leverage as I’m afraid I might break the whole thing.
Does anyone have any ideas I can try ?
Thanks

You need two adjustable wrenches. Use one to hold the valve body and the other one to turn that nut counterclockwise. The one holding the valve can be supported by holding it against the wall.

Notice the way the wrenches are positioned. When you squeeze them together the top nut will turn counter clockwise and the bottom one will turn clockwise. With the top and bottom nuts having six sides and the wrenches having an offset you can usually position them just far enough apart like in the photo. Sometimes you have to flip one or both of the wrenches over so the offset points the other direction. The farther out you squeeze the more leverage you get.
