I took off the old mixer the way I was scolded for

I know from my own experience what is most difficult when replacing an old mixer with a new one, dismantling the old. Sometimes, for convenience, you have to remove the sink, so it happened this time. And what do you think, this manipulation did not help anything.

Dismantling the old mixer

First of all I tried to unscrew the flexible eyeliner, it did not go, broke it with pliers, trying not to break the ceramic sink. Then I tried to unscrew the nut with pliers, and wherever there, for convenience, I removed the sink, but the nut was firmly stuck to the body of the device.

The understanding came that the nut should be cut off, but how? The grinder does not crawl, pay attention to the configuration of the sink, but for such cases I had a way out. At one time, I dismantled the shaft from the old angle grinder, on which the cutting disc is attached. If you attach it to a drill or screwdriver, you get a very mobile device that can crawl anywhere.

When I showed it to the people, many scolded me, motivating that it was unsafe, stupidity, adjustable speed on a drill and screwdriver, it is much safer to work on an angle grinder.

I thought it was enough for me to cut only one side of the nut, it didn’t help, I turned on the mixer and sawed off on the other side. The hardware fell apart, freeing the tap from the sink. It remains to install a new device.
