What the King of Plumbing said.
Learned the hard way a long time ago. Plumbing fixtures are made with very soft metals.

In the future don't use vice grips on anything plumbing. That stem should be removed with a 8" crescent wrench.

Thanks - yes I used the crescent wrench first, but quickly stripped the thing and couldn't get a grip. I still don't know how I'm going to get off the old fixture to put in a new one.

Possible tools to use to remove faucet.

RIDGID Faucet and Sink Installer @HD
Model # 27018 Internet # 100595073 Store SKU # 149553

Also a Basin Wrench.
If those dont work, hack saw.

Two nuts under sink.

Turn angle stops off. Disconnect hot and cold risers. Out with the old, in with the new.

PM me if you have questions.
