My tap started dripping & I used my trusty monkey Wrench & tried to brute force it to turn. Sadly the nut round off & I can’t seem to remove it. I purchased a spanner but still no luck as the nut has no corners.

I tried the monkey W again on the base but the metal has turned soft. Any ideas on how to remove or go full brute force on the gland till it turns.

Only a few things left to try with that one:

  • Apply something like crack it spray
  • Apply heat, such as blow torch or pour boiling water over it
  • New taps
