| It should have been a 5/32" Allen wrench opening when you started.
There are 2 different types of nipple extractors that can be used. 1 looks like a short, stubby E-Z out type reverse bite extraction tool. (a regular E-Z out is too long for the faucet body) The other is a little extractor that has a part that locks itself in place when it is turned counter clockwise. Neither of these are very expensive to buy.
You could try a slightly larger Allen wrench but chances are, it will not be a very positive outcome.
Once you have the tool you choose in place, use a short, quick motion to snap the part loose. As ecman51 stated, make sure you have the tool properly positioned. Hurt knuckles comes to mind....
Good luck with your project... |
