Greetings, and thanks in advance for any help offered. Please forgive any mistakes I might make, this is my first time posting.
I have a kitchen faucet that I need to take out, and unfortunately the pipes and lines under the sink are so arranged as to make it nearly impossible to get a wrench in. I have included a photo of the setup.
The white porcelain is the sink basin, and the plywood is the base for the counter. The problematic line is the white one right in the center of the photo. The connector I need to get loose is about 2.5" below the porcelain at the top of the sink, just below the level of the plywood you see next to the line. The really vexing part is that hidden behind the white line there is another line, right next to it, that impedes getting a wrench behind the connector I want to disconnect.
I am wondering what plumbers do in this situation. Are there special tools that allow you to get up in a tight space like this one and unscrew a line?
Best,
-Erik
