Anyone removed their galley faucet on a 328 Four Winns or have a suggestion as to the best way to remove? When you open the two cabinet doors under the galley sink to get access to the underside of the galley faucet you can't see the nut on the underside of the faucet that looks like the nut you must remove to allow the galley faucet to lift up and out for replacement. I have tried the shorty wrenches and pliers to try and get that nut to turn but it's so tight in there I can't get the nut to turn. There must be an easier way to get this faucet out that I'm not thinking of?

With the shelf that is about one foot underneath the underside of the galley sink and how tight it is up there to get to the faucet nut it certainly is awkward. Someone suggested a Basin Wrench which could of been a good idea, except its still too tight to really use.

I think my next step is trying some channel lock pliers on the large faucet ring (where faucet meets the base of the counter top) while trying to hold the faucet nut from below to hopefully loosen the nut and lift the faucet out.
