Kitchen tap replacement

[Tay2807]

Hello,


I am trying to replace my kitchen taps. I have done it before but this time it is being a real pain. Before i used a telescopic wrench. It isnt working. I have tried various spanners and wrenches too.

As with most, the area is very small with not much turning space.

Any tips or tool recommendations I could try?

Thanks

Employ a plumber? One tip is get a spanner on the backnut and turn the tap from above

Crows foot on a ratchet extension bar?
Looks like a ton of gunk under that nut, maybe try scraping some off with a hook/pick tool.

Destroy the top hat washer and pull it out?

This could enable you to tighten the nut to better access the gunked up threaded section.
