    How to remove a stuck faucet
    This faucet is really old. How do I remove what in the picture. Already tried heat and hammer.

    What type of faucet is it? As a rule we use a basin wrench, (see image)) to get up there and loosen the retaining nut. Did you use WD-40 on the threads? Good luck, Tom

    Thanks for the response.It's the chrome shell that I can't remove. Even tried a strap wrench but to slick.

    Oh and it's some generic faucet. No brand on it.

    Where's this "shell" located? What secures it? Can you tell me what this faucet's on? Brand name? Single handle? More details please. Back to you, Tom

    I have the same problem and it is a Kohler Devonshire widespread. You are suppose to be able to take the trim on top of sink off by turning counterclockwise, but I think it is rusted or calcium buildup has locked it up. Any advice would be great.

    Thanks
