    Frozen drain pipe to sink connection
    The drain pipe connection is frozen. The nut under the sink is corroded and very thin. It is difficult to grab with any kind of tools I have. And when I barely grab it, I can not exert enough force to loosen the connection. I sprayed plenty of liquid wrench. And when I manage to turn it a bit, the entire joint including the pipe and the nut are turning. Can somebody help?

    Easiest thing to do is cut the nut with a hack saw, remove it and replace with another metal nut or convert to PVC. Common problem with die cast metal.
