I have the same issue as asked here (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/plumbing/replacing-kitchen-faucet-new-shutoff-valve-issue-278708-2.html)
With one huge exception. There is not enough room for me to just cut the shut-off valve from the copper pipe and attach a new one. The valve butts up directly to the back wall under the sink. So my question is, is there any way to remove the valve WITHOUT cutting the copper pipe?

Thanks in Advance!!

Thanks for the Assist!! This is exactly my problem too... Oi, It seems my simple DIY Kitchen Faucet replacement just got a little more complicated. Hopefully it will just pull off without too much damage to the pipe underneath..

Thanks Again!
