I'm trying to unscrew a 1.5 inch metal drain pipe because the new pipe needs to be shorter to connect to the new sink. (Existing pipe is also about 50% blocked with crud as well.) I've pushed at it with my 14" pipe wrench, I've sprayed it with WD-40 and liquid wrench, and I've heated the fitting a bit with a torch. I can't get the pipe to budge. It did look rusted at the joint.
Is there hope to get this unscrewed? If so, how?
Or should I give up on getting this unscrewed and instead cut it short and use a banded coupler? The pipe has a rough coat of paint on it so I assume a banded coupler will require removing the paint to get a good seal?
