Plumbers Tool?

[jerome8283]

Hey guys,

I wish to replace this knob but I'm not sure which tool I need to get it off. Could anyone tell by this photo?

A handle puller?

WD 40 and plenty of it......

If you must use a penetrating lube use PB Blaster.

It's the king of penetrating lubes I've broken the most stubborn rusted bolts loose on exhaust manifolds with it.

So it just pulls off but not easily?

[Redwood]

Yes a pulling tool is needed

You will need something like this:

Just search for faucet puller or go to a local plumbing supply store and you'll find what you need.

Thanks for googling that up Wrex!
You are the master!

Based on the way that setup looks, I'd recommend a sawzall.

Based on the way that setup looks, I'd recommend a sawzall.

When I have to cut something off, I like using my 4" dia graider, with a thin metal cutting blade...little more control then a sawzall sometimes.

Thanks guys. I did just that earlier, goggle the tool. I bought it at my local HW store and the knob came off like magic.

Thanks again!
