and I not talking about my wife. This is the nut that attaches the flush value to the tank and is on a 1953 american standard toilet. I have an adjustable plumber's slide wrench but the problem is how to keep the value base inside the tank stable so i can unscrew the nut. I have tried a ton of liquid wrench to free up the nut but so far no luck in getting the nut loose from the valve.
Any ideas on how to get the nut loose and how best to stop the value base from turning when I apply force?
P.S. I know that it would be better to replace this old water hog but the misses likes the look and wants to keep. I would rather hassle the dead nut rather than the live one on this issue.
