Hello,
I’ve got an extremely restricted area up underneath the sink where the water lines connect to the bottom of the faucet.
The guy at the plumbing store sold me a wrench that reaches up and can clamp on at a 90° angle. I was able to use this wrench to unscrew the large white plastic do dads (mounting nuts?). One ended up cracking and falling off. The other I unscrewed as far as it would go.
Now how do I unscrew the water lines? There’s no way this wrench that I bought will grip hard enough to unscrew these things from below. A normal wrench will not fit. There’s not nearly enough play to be able to lift the faucet from the top to unscrew them from above.
?
Unscrewing at the valve makes sense, yet I can’t lift the faucet out because the plastic mounting nut below will not unscrew more than about 1/4". It stops at the point where the water line screws in.
