Maybe try a pair of pliers like this it will give you a better grip and some leverage :thinking-face:

Just tried a pair and it still won’t twist that’s unbelievable hahahah. On the Red Sea video the pipes underneath the cabinet do twist even slightly t allow water to drain, don’t even do that n mine. Definitely something amiss here.

I have never done this but maybe search around and see if you pull the nuts off of the bulkheads underneath if you'll be able to lift the bulkhead and pipe together from the top then you'll be able to see what's going on? Will probably have to source new gaskets but at this point you haven't much to loose.

Holy crap I got them out… my hands are red raw but they’re out and that’s what matters
