You don't have the patients so you made some w/ a sawzall? That's no way to operate. Wink

Final product looks good.

Obviously she wanted a new faucet. They do make replacement seals and cartridges to stop leaks. Big Grin

With all the new battery models on the market, I still love the heavy duty model electric Sawzall. One in its box, almost new sold for $45.00 at todays Flea Market. I tried to convince my friend Joe to buy it. He didnt.

Wouldn't you still have to go under to unscrew the base and lines anyways?

Yes, but the center line nut was rusty and just a bitch to get to and the wife wanted a new one so why fight it Smile

The new one was so easy to install they really have come along way in helping out the do it yourselfer.

I've done the same thing. The water lines were easy to get off, but the nut holding the faucet on was corroded on solid. Good job getting it off and the new one looks great.

Sawzalls work removing toilet seats as well. If you're not picky about etching up the porcelain a little. When a friend was an apprentice plumber, sent into a retirement home to replace 200 toilet seats, he was going with the Sawzall by the 2nd one ... Big Grin

When the nuts are on 8" centers, you have to cut above the rubber plate seal; in the old days, before that gasket became common, all faucets set on a bed of plumbers putty; no room to cheat a blade into there.

Hollow shaft nut drivers with Channellocks on them will work; as no plumber would happen to be carrying the right extra-deep socket and ratchet.
