How to remove stuck faucet nut under sink. Как удалить застрявшую гайку крана под раковиной ruclips.net/video/Rp_TCZZ1hPo/видео.html You may be interested to watch 13 videos of "How I build the Deck 12' x 20'." ruclips.net/p/PL9fyWqL02lqkUWshlwsCqzBcRR8BEMETo&si=gji00z9tUFKtY7KG
Crazy how many people run into this problem and ended up watching your video. I was one of those people today and it worked! Thank you so much for this solution!!
Thank you! And thanks to all the other commenters who provided tips and encouragement. I used a HSS step bit 3/16 inch (on up) and drilled like crazy for an hour and a half to get this blasted corroded/rusted nut off the last part of the old faucet. Took forever but I am persistent (read: stubborn). Now I can send back the tools I ordered from Amazon and get the new faucet installed tomorrow! Many thanks for a very helpful video.
I wish I could give this video a hundred thumbs up! a plumber wanted to charge $280 to replace one faucet so I decided to do it myself! Everything was ez breezy except one nut that looked exactly like the one in this video was rusty as hell and I couldn't get it off. After watching this video I bought a helix 3/8 drill bit for $23 and tried this and it worked 😁!!! Thank you so much!
You are my life saver. Thank you so much!!! Had a rusted nut and even after using penetrating oil & basin wrench, it was impossible. We finally got it after watching your video. One thing we did do differently was using a bit a little bit wider than the nut instead of doing another hole sideways. Perfect!
This video saved me 150 bucks, exactly what I needed to do. For me the 3/8 bit worked the best. I also had thin metal washer I had to cut. Excellent helpful video thanks so much
I had been trying to remove the nut from an old faucet and smashed my fingers. Then I watched your video. My oscillating tool cut through the nut in less than a minute. Thank you (and my fingers thank you).
Worked better than expected! The nut and bolt had meshed together given the degree of rust. A couple of walks with a heavy duty screwdriver cured that! Thanks for posting!
HOLY SMOKES! This was my problem.. getting under a bathroom sink with no room to reach, I thought I was doomed. This will allow me to get my handles loose now and replace my parts! Thanks!!!
I tried WD40 and bought an under basin wrench, and neither helped budge it. I bought a 7/32 metal drill bit (another person here suggested that size -thanks) put a clear piece of clear plastic over my face to protect my eyes (very important!!!!) and drilled the wretched thing off. Thanks for the wonderful assistance!
Thank you from the US!! I have been struggling for the past couple of hours with trying to remove the 3 corroded brass nuts from my 25 year old bathroom fixture. Penetrating oil, hammer and chisel, etc. Found this video and 5 minutes later. . . done!! Thank you!!
Thank you for this video. My first time replacing a faucet and my nut was 10 times worse than this one on the video. My wife is happy with our new kitchen faucet.
I broke a drill bit but is was well worth it. Thank you. You are a true blessing. You deserve millions of views. It took me a while to find your video that dealt with the exact problem I had. Thank You again.
I love you. Thank, thank for ending my struggle with my kitchen sink. Your video solved my problem and I've been fighting for the last two hours trying to get that damn bolt off. You're the best!
Thx you so much. Your tip is so useful and extremely practical. I just save a couple hundred bucks now getting rotary tool and metal blades - which was not going to be trivial due to the tight space between the stubborn nut and the sink. So happy I found your video. Cheers
Thank you for sharing this.. I didn’t have the room to get in at that 90degree angle but drilling 3 holes into the nut then hitting with a chisel caused it to come off .. wear safety googles for sure!
Thank you...after a few hours of using penetrating oil, nothing. It would not budge and with the tight workspace it was getting frustrating. I came across your video and was done in about 5 minutes.
Thank You!!!! I’ve never been so frustrated in my life. Was thinking I would easily change the faucet in 20 minutes, of course not! Getting out the drill 👍👍👍👍
Grateful to find your fix. Larger bit (7/32) worked better than smaller. Persistence and downward (upward) drill pressure will get the job done. Thank you.
Just like some other ppl i been messing with this 4 n hr. Ur video is spectacular..I appreciate it so much, trying 2 save some money n do it myself..tks again👍🏻
had the same problem on the same faucet! thank you so much, had nearly given up! Next problem was the hole in the sink wasn't round.....out came the dremel. Great synth tune btw.
Great video! I used the drill and Dremel to cut the damn nut. But my nut was so rusted it still seized up to the threads. So the extra step was to use a screw driver and hammer to chisel out the nut from the threads after making the cut!
The nut on mine had a flange, making it more difficult to pry off. I used an oscillating tool with metal cutting blade to put a couple cuts in it and split the flange. The nut never busted open, but the vibration of the oscillating tool managed to loosen it once I had cut through the nut and flange. Then I could use the tool like an impact chisel to slowly turn the nut enough to finish the rest by hand.
Props to you good sir! This saved me going to the store and buying some tool I'll only use once. Also gotta say big props being able to do this and film it to hahah that ain't an easy task. Well done!
Going to be trying this in about 5 minutes :) hopefully works for me - looks like you had a fair amount of room to angle the drill and bit few ways. thank you for this idea ! What I hoped would have been a quick faucet swap is turning into major headache :(!
I opened the box to my new faucet and there was a tool for the nut under the sink. I decided to try before I broke out my drill and the tool worked. Perhaps someone can find this useful as well.

Just wanted to say thanks, I spent almost 5 hour before find your video, thanks to you now the new Faucet is installed.

👏🏻This is a great technique and can also be used to remove old, stubborn, and rusty mounting nuts from sink strainers.
Absolutely!
Great tip. Took me 20 minutes but I removed the impossible nut. Thanks
Glad it helps 😌
This technique saved me so much trouble! Thanks.
Thank you so much for posting this video. My husband was struggling for over a hour.
You welcome !
Thanks brother! I’ve been fighting for hours and not even the fanciest tool is helping, time saver!!
Glad it help you!
Thank you...after a few hours of using penetrating oil, nothing. It would not budge and with the tight workspace it was getting frustrating. I came across your video and was done in about 5 minutes.
ONLY TECHNIQUE THAT WORKED!!! After 2 hrs of trying other videos ... THIS RIGHT HERE - did it!!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you!
This video “finished” my job. Thank you very much. Very helpful
Glad it helps!
This may be the best video on youtube. Saved me calling a plumber and more importantly a giant "i told you so".
The brass nut is soft and easy to drill. Good idea!
10 secs to RUclips and you’re the solution, thank you 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Happy to help
Thank You!!!! I’ve never been so frustrated in my life. Was thinking I would easily change the faucet in 20 minutes, of course not! Getting out the drill 👍👍👍👍
Nice you did it.
Just did this and it worked like a charm. I was about to pull the sink basin out. Thank you!!!!!!
Great!
Well done. I used an oscillating tool to cut nut, which did same thing. Stuff locks up tight over time!!
@@richj1134 Yep, that tool works great too.
Grateful to find your fix. Larger bit (7/32) worked better than smaller. Persistence and downward (upward) drill pressure will get the job done. Thank you.

Glad I could help!
I used an oscillating tool, carbide blade worked good!
That's will work to, thanks 😊
Is it easier & quicker than drilling in tight space and on your back?
Simple tip saved the rest of my Saturday thank you sir
Glad to help ☺️
had the same problem on the same faucet! thank you so much, had nearly given up! Next problem was the hole in the sink wasn't round.....out came the dremel. Great synth tune btw.
Glad it was helpful 😌
Thank you so much for sharing this! You definitely gave me another insight on how to remove that basin nut!!
Glad it was helpful!
You're a lifesaver. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for watching!
Watched this video after struggling to get the nut off. Said "pfft I ain't doing that". 45 min later........
Got it off in under 3 min. Thank you sir!
@@fredp3088 Glad you got it!
Your trick worked for me today. Thanks a million!
Nice to hear that 😀
Отличный способ!!! Автор молодец! Быстро эффективно!!!
Спасибо!
Drilling through the rusted nut worked. I almost gave up and was about to call a plumber. Thank you!
The nuts holding my faucet had no wings, plus heavy corrosion. This video saved me from going ballistic! Thank you so much!!
Glad to hear I was able to help you out!
Thank you bro for great idea and solution my faucet is rusted can’t even move if i didn’t see you video it cost me $1,000
Nice to hear it helps!
This is the most helpful video I have found. Thank you for posting this.
You welcome! Thanks for watching my channel!
Thank you soooooo much. I was ready to give up and call a plumber when I came across your video. I had it out in less then 5 minutes. 😊
Wow, nice to hear that 😀
Thanks man, worked like a charm, saved me from buying a new vanity
You welcome!
Thanks for the tip. I could never figure out why the previous owner didn't fix the faucet, non-standard nut size.
Glad to help
Doing this now & it worked. Thank you so much!!!!!
You welcome!
Simple; yet genius!!! I just punched out both sides and it fell right off. Thanks man!
Thank you.
Great video! I used the drill and Dremel to cut the damn nut. But my nut was so rusted it still seized up to the threads. So the extra step was to use a screw driver and hammer to chisel out the nut from the threads after making the cut!
@@RustedHazel That's nice to hear you did it 😀
Excellent advice…working like a charm-thank you👍
Thanks for visit my channel 😀
It’s definitely the music that makes this work work so well.
The nut on mine had a flange, making it more difficult to pry off. I used an oscillating tool with metal cutting blade to put a couple cuts in it and split the flange. The nut never busted open, but the vibration of the oscillating tool managed to loosen it once I had cut through the nut and flange. Then I could use the tool like an impact chisel to slowly turn the nut enough to finish the rest by hand.
Love it. I don't have a drill but I have sharp chisels. Will destroy the retaining ring.
Excellent idea I never thought of doing that I’ll be trying it out this morning thanks for the video
Thank you 😊
Thanks. 2nd attempt to replace kitchen faucet today. Biggest roadblock is the damn nut. Will try this when the family wakes up. :)
Props to you good sir! This saved me going to the store and buying some tool I'll only use once. Also gotta say big props being able to do this and film it to hahah that ain't an easy task. Well done!
Glad to help you!
I wanna give this a hundred likes if possible. Thank you for the video!
Thank you so much !!!
Worked like a champ. Thank you for posting this!!!
Glad it helped!
How to loosen nut...you don't. Thank you for the video, it helped out a lot 👍
Great!
Going to be trying this in about 5 minutes :) hopefully works for me - looks like you had a fair amount of room to angle the drill and bit few ways. thank you for this idea ! What I hoped would have been a quick faucet swap is turning into major headache :(!
This saved my sanity.
Saved me so much time. Thank you
Glad it helped!
Awesome! Thank you! Just what I needed. Safer than a grinder!
😅, thanks for viewing!
this is a pretty brilliant solution
Thank you!
Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for
Nice to hear it helps you 😊
Wow!!! Very Impressive!!!
Thank you for the video!!!
Glad you liked it!
Dang, absolutely brilliant sir 👍🏻🇺🇸🇮🇱. Gonna try this out.
Thanks for visiting channel !
NICE One! Really, Really easy compared to those using a crazy grinder. BIG thanks!
You welcome.
God bless you my friend. I almost threw my entire bathroom out the window.
🤣. Glad you was done with stubborn nut
Exactly what I’m about to do. Tried for quite some time to remove it.
I opened the box to my new faucet and there was a tool for the nut under the sink. I decided to try before I broke out my drill and the tool worked. Perhaps someone can find this useful as well.
Thank you so much for this video! It helps me a lot! 👍🙌👏✌️👊!
Glad to hear that!
You helped me out so much!
Thanks.
Glad to hear that 😀
Thank you sir! Finally got that effing nut out.
Glad you done it 👏
I love you! I was just about to buy a bunch of plumbers tools! Drill baby drill!
What a great idea. Thank you!
Thank you had a customer call saying the nut is stuck and they need the faucet changed
Thank you Russia
Nice job buddy thanks for the video
@@dougbrown7023 You welcome!
I cut off the top of the faucet with an angle grinder. Also takes 5 minutes, but much more dramatic.
I was fixing to do the same, luckily checked RUclips first.
I chipped my sink with the grinder
Says the guy who can do it for less
Thank you, I'm trying this.
Best of luck!
Great idea thanks for video
You are a GOD!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Thanks!
Beautiful work
Thank you so much 😀
yep. I got to do this for sure! It was coming to this i knew it
Great!
Very clever, this will for sure be my go to
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing, this is my current situation. The bolt is rusted to the pipe.
Glad it helps 😌
Glad I came here first lol. Gonna be option 2
100% works great! Thank you!
