I am trying to find an alternative for a basin wrench. I am attempting to install a widespread Moen Caldwell CA84440SRN faucet MOEN LINK to a Kohler pedestal sink KOHLER LINK.
The Moen uses a valve that secures to the top with a "C Clip" and a nut on the underside. I am having one hell of a time getting the nuts tight. The basin wrench is too large for the area. To aggravate the situation, the threads on the valve are about 1 inch in diameter on the top portion making the nut quite a bit larger and there is a nozzle for the mixer hose that also comes off each valve.
Any insight, tips, hints, tricks, alternative tools would be greatly appreciated.
