Wrex Member Messages 126 Reaction score 0 Points 16 Location New Jersey Sep 15, 2008 #7 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. Attachments handlepuller.gif 3.4 KB · Views: 469 Last edited: Sep 15, 2008

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. Mike
