Be very careful if you don't want to end up
opening the wall. It's not unusual that they get
frozen on. On the bright side, the metal is
generally soft. You should be able to cut away
part of the threads with a jigsaw using a metal


Assuming it won't unscrew, I can break away most of the spout, and
then I can apply an electric jig saw, with the blade perpendicular???
to the wall, parallel to the pipe??, just by holding it firmly?? with
noting to rest the base plate of the saw on?? I can do that?

blade, in order to get it to turn.


Also if you could email me your email address, I have a question to
ask about a previous thread that I can't find anymore. I'd appreciate
it.
