Unable to shift lock nut for sink trap

[Longshanks]

Hi

One of the two plastic locking nuts moves easily but the other is just stuck tight. What seems odd about the situation is that most of the thread is exposed so you would think it just needs a turn or two to remove it but it won't budge.

Have tried boiling water but that hasn't helped.

Any ideas would be much appreciated

Thanks

Pair of grips on it? Worst case scenario is cut the nut to split it, and replace the trap.

sounds like its jumped a thread try sum grips or a screw driver on the corner of the nut a gentaly tap it may b enuff to free it up

Will try. Certainly not a domestic disaster compared to what other folk are experiencing.

Thanks again for your time.

Get yourself a boa strap wrench.
