Default hard to remove a bathtub spout?


| 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?
|

I've done it before. I had to do that recently with
a tub drain, actually. It was brass, so it was easy
to cut. Once it's partly cut through (without cutting
the copper threads) it should turn.
But as long as you don't damage the pipe by twisting
you can also solder on a new end, if you need to.

| 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.

Just remove the NONONO?
