I want to replace a faucet, but the rectangle bolt or nut is rusty. I know I can us WD-4 to try to get rid of the rust, but what tool is best to get that out? Or do I have to yank it with regular wrench?

Thanks.. They look more like drills to me. Hmm, not sure if they will harm the thread. but anyway, I may use it for last resource if nothing else works.

Care to show me the picture of Easy out? (just in case I may need it) I tried to find it form home depot or online, and had no idea what you guys meant. As far as the internal nipple that slips, the short ones slip yes, but the one I showed on previous post did not slip.

Just found out from an experienced plumber online.. In case any of you don't know (obviously many don't), here is the pipe extractor I got, within 5 minutes (with the help of socket wrench), I pulled broken piece out! 3-Piece Internal Pipe Wrench Set-T150 at The Home Depot

Okay, my shower is leaking and decided to change the shower arm. but my shower arm broke, now about 1 inch piece inside the wall got stuck in there. How can I get it out?! Please help, perhaps attach a picture of tool I need to get it out. Someone told me some extractor or nibble tool. but...

I just spotted some interesting words here.. shut off valve? How do I install shut off valve? what does it look like, does it sound more complicated on top of the regular installation? the shut off valve is to the shower, not to the regular/cartridge (inside the hole) part, correct? If so...

correct, and it is very useful.. ... it is under $20.00 if I remember correctly.

Correct, there is no visible leak, so it is in between wall, and I don't want to damage come later, that is why I stop using that shower for now. The sound is always the same, and if I just us it for a minute or two, I probably won't hear it dripping, but after like 3 to 4 minutes shower...

The water dripping came only minuts aftr I take shower, and only be heard down at first floor (vent area) When you say, remov th trim... and point shower toward wall, that means I don't need to turn off main water line.. correct, I probably will do that one of these days. But my main...

I suggested replace the whole kitchen facuset. It will be easier, however, you need some special tool to unscrew from the bottom, it took me two hours to do it (I was an ametaur), but after i got the tool, in minutes, I was able to do it. I won't bother replacing parts of the facuset. when...

After shower about 3 to 5 minutes, I could hear water dripping (getting loud lately - so I stopped using that shower) downstairs where the vent (kitchen) is. The question is.. Where would the leak come from? 1. Would the shower valve (washer, cartridge) go bad and leak down ? (by the way, I...
