I need to replace my kitchen sink facucets. But I can't get the plastic nut loose from the old faucets. I've tried airlock wrenches and vise-grips-neither is working. It seems to be rusted on-was last replaced 20 years ago. Is there some liquid/lubricant that might loosen the nuts so I can remove the old faucets? Thanks.

When working in apartments (cold water flats) some of the faucets were installed prior to WW 2
When faced with these frozen faucets I use a sawzall BUT I tell my employees to use a hack saw blade and one end duct taped so they cannot damage the sink finish and then use the blade under the faucet deck and slowly cut through the faucet.
Takes a lot of time and lots of caution not to damage the sink or counter top

Thanks for the tip. I was trying the hacksaw blade-but from underneath the sink. never thought of starting from the top. :)
