Thanks for reply, I tried to use adjustable wrench to remove chrome hex cartridge cover but it stuck badly not move at all. I also use hammer to hit the cover but still tightened. I dont know if theres other tools can open hex cover beside adjustable wrench.
Okay I will try to find one thanks.There are other tools Try to get your hands on a 1/2” drive socket set with a appropriate size socket. Will give you more leverage.
Okay!thanks for adviceWhatever you do, don’t let the entire valve body turn.
I might would clamp some visegrips under the cabinet top up high on the valve body.
Brace them against the lavatory, the valve body would try to turn counterclockwise. Don’t let that happen.
Grab a cheap set of deep tub sockets and some channelocks. You could even just use channelocks since the chrome finish is already ruined.
