Remove kitchen tap

How do I loosen these brass nuts? I’ve tried all sorts but can’t get a grip of them. Tried using an adjustable spanner but there’s just no space to turn the nut.

I can’t get to the nut without removing the tails.

If your dumping the tap and fitting a new one, new tap will come with new set of either flexi hoses (more and more common with taps) or a new set of copper tails, as you have now

To remove tap, can leave copper tails in place at tap end and disconnect them at other end, where they connect to hot/cold supplies

Then bend them forward slightly to access nut on horseshoe fixing as mentioned. This is simple with the monobloc spanners as in link (or similar set)! The tails are annealed copper so soft and easy to bend. Or, once disconnected at supply, can unscrew them from tap, usually just hand tight or use grips / pliers but once you’ve removed the securing nut, can usually withdraw the tap upwards, complete with tails attached (as long as you’ve removed any other fittings such as isolation valves / compression coupler / etc from end of tails

Brake spanners may be capable if you intend to re use.

The copper tubes are unscrewable !
Unscrew them....the use the spanners mentioned to undo the brass nut. It's NOT rocker science !!
