Stuck Bathtub Spout--no propane torch
Hello and thanks in advance for helping me.
I cannot get the old spout off. We don't have a propane torch. Nor do we have any wd-40. I actually managed (through determination) to remove the diverter from the spout, hoping to get a better access to the spout opening and hence more leverage. No luck.
We are planning to run to supermarket to get WD-40 tonight. What about C-L-R, might that loosen it up? I have a feeling that this is a corrosion issue--since that was the problem with the diverter and we have well water.
I have looked through the opening in the back of the tub and the hole in the bottom of the spout--it's the kind of spout that is simply threaded onto the end of the copper pipe. This should be so much easier than it is! :confused:
Thanks for any help you can offer!:)
