I usually DIY, but after spending close to $1,000 on a new sink & fixtures I decided to hire a professional to install them. Unfortunately, he cross threaded the steel retaining nuts on two Kohler Duostrainers K-8799-VS. Then, he overtightened the screws, bending the nuts themselves. The nuts are an inch short of sealing against the undersink washer and gasket, and they won't budge. What is the best way to remove the drains without damaging the sink? Kohler customer support believes the retaining nut is steel. Should we try cutting through it with a Dremel or maybe try cutting through the stainless steel drain body itself with a Sawzall? Project is at a standstill. All reasonable ideas will be welcomed.
