I need to temporarily remove the adapter that goes between my faucet diverter and the faucet itself. Of course I’m going to put it back when I’m done.

I can’t grip it even with pliers. I’m going to try a pipe wrench but I don’t want to damage the adapter. Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you.

You only want to grip it with enough force to hold it while you turn. Once you get it off, a good cleaning with clr on the threads will help it loosen up in the future
Thank you I’ll try that. Thank you also @fishguy242. I appreciate the help. I’ll let you know how it goes.
