Trying to uninstall kitchen faucet

[DeeJayD]

Hi guys,
I'm trying to uninstall our kitchen faucet with a nut that won't budge. Would this be our only option to remove the faucet? Is there a method to get the nut to turn? Thanks so much in advance

That looks pretty corroded, but you'll have to get that nut off to remove the faucet. First, spray it once or twice with a product like PB Blaster (a penetrating oil) which may loosen things up for you. I also suspect that you may not have much leverage in that tight space to work a wrench, so I suggest you use a socket wrench with a long extension and a crow's foot attachment of the correct size. (The crow's foot design is like the end of a crescent wrench that fits onto the socket wrench square drive or extension.)

If you can't get it loose with a basin wrench, then what I usually do is take a drill bit to drill through the side of the nut, and then use a flat screwdriver the break it off the rest of the way. I pretty sure it will unscrew if you use a basin wrench though.

take a piece of 1/2" black iron pipe. slide it over the brass and use leverage to break off the brass.
