Im an unlicensed plumber!!!First, rip out the wall board, then use a
cutting torch to remove the offending fixtures.

Are you trying to install a sink in a vanity or trying to fit new
faucets
on a bathtub?
I was putting a new bath in to replace an old one.
Make sure your plumbing matches the holes before you put it in.
Most modern bathtubs have the faucets *above* the tub itself, as
opposed
to fitting *on* the tub.
If its the old fashioned kind you should have room to get your hand
under
the tub. Ive never seen an old "clawfoot" tub that mounted flush with
the
wall.
The trouble was I was replacing a broken plastic bath with an old cast
iron one. A few problems:
1) A Ford Sierra dislike the wieght of a cast iron bath.
2) Druring transit the damn thing shifted off the lip at the back of the
car boot (it was a hatchback), making it ****ing impossible to get out.
3) It was too big to steer round the hallway.
4) The house it came from had a wooden shelf behind the bath (presumably
so you could get to the tap workings underneath) - mine doesn't.
5) The plumbing was all different diameters of pipe, and every
combination of connectors I tried would not position the drain pipe to
match with the drain of the house - I ended up using a flexible drain
hose.
You used a compact car to haul a bathtub?!!?
I used the only car I had at the time. Didn't realise the bath was quite so heavy! guy lived in a place without a proper road, I had to drive down a kerb at one point, suspension went THUD!
Oy!
You're supposed to measure all the openings and fit the plumbing *before*
you install the bathtub...eveything over here is copper pipe and solder
joints.
FYI
HTH
Planning? Don't be absurd! Anyway it was a second hand one in the paper for a tenner.
