Basin wrench does not fit. Tight space.

[Washingtonian123]

Hey y’all,

I am having issues getting hot water through a bathroom faucet (10 year old), and so I thought I’d replace the supply line and/or the faucet. However, as you can see from the attached photo, I have an extremely tight space and can’t even get the basin wrench around the nut. Any advise on what I can do to uninstall the supple line?

Also, any thoughts on how I could uninstall the v-clip that you see in the second image? My thought was to get the faucet out with the supple lines intact, but the v-clips seems to be blocking me from pulling it out.

Much appreciated.

I think you have to remove the pop-up rod. then use a hex key (allen) wrench in hole to unscrew the large toggle type clamp holding the faucet to the sink
