I have purchased a new kitchen faucet that I plan to install. However, I'm having difficulty getting the old faucet off. It is secured by plastic screw on housings that I cannot get off. I've tried using a wrench but the plastic bolt is stripped. I tried using pliers but that doesn't work. Any suggestions on how to get the old supports off?'

Hi Joecebs,

Are you using the basin wrenches see the images below and try to spray some WD-40 let it soak and try.

Can you tell us the brand and the model nnumber of your old faucet and e new one, we will help you


Hi Joecebs,

If it will not help get back to me, Thanks.

However, if you still have problems removing the nut, than take a wood chisel or long flat screwdriver, put it on the nut and tap it with hammer. Nut will break in pieces.
