my bathroom sink got completely clogged. I ended up using an auger and clearing it, but I am trying to replace the j pipe. It is completely stuck though. So much that I have broken it into pieces on the end trying to get it off. I have taken a flat head screw driver and hammer all along the edges and still can’t get it to move even a millimeter.
I need help on how to get this out. I’m not a very handy guy, but I can’t afford to get a professional involved.

Plumber69 gave you two options:

1. Using a hacksaw, cut the smaller pipe where it goes in the larger pipe - straight down cut. Clean with a rag and deburr. Put teflon tape on the thread and install a female adapter (available at HD). Hand tight then use an adjustable wrench to tight a little more. Glue a plastic pipe (cut to size) into the female adapter...and finish the job.

2. Cut the pipe out of the wall where the thread ends. Slip on a no-hub connector (avail at HD) and attach a plastic pipe into the connector and finish the job.

Still having issues? Let a pro help.

Or, just pry it out first and then use a plastic female adapter. You'll want to clean up the threads first...
