Stuck Bath tap

[divvy]

Can anyone help I can't disconnect my bath taps, I have very little room and the tap nuts are very tight.

I have the correct spanner Monument 2 Jaw Adjustable Basin Wrench, but I just cant turn the nuts.

Does anyone have any tips pls?

Thanks

WD 40.

As a last resort, drain taps and apply heat via a blow lamp CAREFULLY.

I had to saw one off once with a junior hacksaw But it was on a cast bath so i got away with little damage.

If the spanner is not slipping and your'e not strong enough to turn it, then you'll have to increase the torque, use some pipe on the 'tommy bar' to increase leverage. You could try using some WD 40. or 'plus gas' first.

Where can I buy the plus gas? I know it may sound dumb but I've not seen it in B&Q!

To be pedantic, it's the moment that you need to increase.
