I need some advice on removing a frozen basket strainer nut, so I can reseal the basket strainer with plumber's putty. When I try to turn the nut in either direction the whole basket strainer turns. I've tried wedging a screwdriver in the bottom part of the basket strainer to keep it from moving, but it didn't work--and it started to bend the metal. If that bottom part of the strainer breaks, then there's nothing left to grab onto.
Would a torch help? Do I need to cut the nut out?
Thanks,
Eric
