There's a section that was corroded and when trying to remove it, it broke. This piece appears to be a connection of sort. It lays between the faucet and the back wall. Since it snapped I can't grip the separate section that goes into wall. I need help.

Hi Cathrine

If you look inside the "separate section" you should see a hex shaped hole that should allow you to put a large ALLEN WRENCH inside to loosen the bad part. If you do not see a hex shaped hole in the part then you may need to purchase a pair of water pump pliers (see image) and try to get a grip on the part using that tool. If you do not have enough strength in your hands you may need to enlist the help of a male friend or neighbor, but the pliers should get the part loosened so you can try to find a replacement part, OK? I do not expect that finding a replacement for this will be easy if even possible, but for sure you'll need a brand name or I wouldn't even bother and I'd simply replace the faucet entirely!

If you post a picture I can tell you a lot more!

Good luck!

I am guessing they are talking about a brass trap arm that has corroded. Picture would sure help.

Sure sounds like a wall mounted faucet to me, but you know Brian, ya never do know..LOL!! Always appreciate another perspective...you just never know on this site, huh??
