You guys helped me before to identify this brand. Unfortunately we switched to a Krowne 17-109WL. Went to install it tonight and not good. Its so corroded im not sure what to do. Thinking i should replace the lines behind the wall mount. Its going to be a tight fit though. Should i use an oscillating tool to cut off the existing nipple? Hopefully the pictures will tell the story.

we use stainless steel or galv washers stacked to create a spacer on the back side...maybe looks like the steel washers are gonners. So we always bring a variety of thicknesses to space as needed.
Then we don't use that nut or washers shown in your fourth pic.
I've never done it as a repair and with corroded washers, would need extra hands to do the project in a situation like yours.
