Kitchen faucet removal. Can't get nut off.

[Handygirl07]

Hello,

I'm trying to replace a leaky faucet but having a hard time accessing the mounting nut to loosen the faucet. Looks like the mounting bracket was put on wrong. I've used a basin wrench, adjustable wrench, regular wrench, pilers but can't get a good grip. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thinking about using a grinder to cut off the bracket.

Thanks,

A set like this might do it. I don't know what size the nut is.
https://www.lowes.com/pd/BrassCraft-21-32-in-to-1-3-32-in-Shower-Valve-Socket-Wrench/999903493 has a size list.

Would a deep socket fit down there?

The shower valve socket may work.
Or sometimes I take a drill bit and drill off the nut. Any drilling or grinding needs eye protection.

A deep socket will work.
