Replace Trap Arm

[LearningT]

Trying to replace a trap arm, but it will not come out of the stub out. Arm will come out about 3-5 inches then stop. What can I do? Picture will be attached.

Odd. I would pull it out that 5 inches, and saw the pipe. Put on a new escutcheon if you like, and glue on a new trap adapter.

Cut it like he said and then folds the pipe over on itself inside of the pipe. I ran into this the other day and that’s how I did it.

It had to go in so it will come out. It’s just rusted in there and is probably hanging up where the trap adapter was glued on.

Did you try twisting it back and forth as you pull on it before you destroy it?
