I'm trying to change my faucet in the kitchen and I just noticed that
the two nuts holding my faucet to the basin are plastic twist nuts and
I cannot budge them with my hand and cannot fit the basin wrench
around the nut without hitting the basin. It's a plastic nut with 2
wings. Is there any way to get this thing off outside of taking my
dremel tool to it?

I have the Ridgid tool, but I have had that not work too. I have used
my torch in a pinch, on a stainless sink with a fire extinguisher
handy. If you can reach it with your dremel, give it a shot.

Just tap the lips with your screwdriver or dremel it off as you can
always replace also try needle nose pliers handle ends .- Hide quoted text -

Don't use a torch as it could discoler the stainless steel

actually it unscrewed the opposite direction. I was going lefty loosey
when it unscrewed right. Never really encountered that before. Is that
some kind of plumber trick to get diy'ers to give up?
