: Ok, I don't know anything about plumbing.. my house is 30 years old and it's probably original pipes. : We were replacing the faucet in the tub and my husband bought the wrong faucet head without realizing it. : he figurd it was universal but he'd need to cut the pipe shorter to fit. Well he did but it leaked so he went : to buy something to stop it from leaking.. a gasket or something. Anyway he came back with the faucet : head that we were supposed to get originally and another length of pipe. The pipe has threads at both ends : . So what we need to do is unscew the pipe that he cut down, only we have been fighting with it for 2 : days now.. it's really stuck.. the pipe has actually bent without budging. Is there a trick to this? I really need : to get this thing off! We even tried WD40. Please help! Michelle, I know your going to be mad at me but the only trick i know of for this situation is to hire a professional plumber to bail you out of this mess. Sorry Dale's Plumbing Service LMP
