How do you remove thin brass nut on a single handle delta faucet .
Kitchen sink faucet.

Under the sink?

The big one holding the faucet to the sink?

I try a basin wrench first---if that doesn't grab--I get my drill and drill the nut in two places and then break the nut free with a screw driver----

What kind of sink?

Dremel with a cutoff wheel is what I use on rusted nuts. Just score it and bust it off.

Thanks, It is a deep sink, single hole. So I will need a long handle tool or
chisel to remove the nut. My basin wrench jaws will not go around the nut.

If its the style with just 1 nut you might be able to get it off with a 3/8 ratchet and a deep socket,or possibly push the lines out of way and use a 6" cresent wrench

Don't like the idea of breaking the nut by drilling a hole in it? It works.
