Good afternoon everyone! I am having a bit of trouble getting one of my faucets off of it's tower shank to give it a proper cleaning. So much trouble that I snapped the tooth off of the spanner wrench and had to replace it.
Thus far I have tried, hot water and boiling water poured over the fitting, a hair dryer left on to heat the fitting, a long soak in Oxyclean, a longer soak in hot PBW and last but not least some Penetrating Oil, all to no avail. Tonight's menu is for blunt force with a dead blow hammer, and possibly a heat gun or torch if I can get my hands on one. I'm trying really hard to not have to cut the shank assembly off of the draft line as the space to get the fittings on correctly is tiny and tough to work in.
Anyone have any experience with this and what worked for you?
