I am in the process of fixing my bathtub leak. I live in a 20yr old town home. The leak is on the hot water handle dripping from the tub spout and when I removed the covering and screw I found that the hex nut holding the stem in place would not budge. The cow bell that I used was just moving over the hex nut so then I sprayed on some liquid wrench. My problem is that I am afraid that I stripped the edges of the hex nut and it will never come off. What should I do? I decided to let the liquid wrench sit for a few days while I ponder my problem. Will I have to call a plumber just to remove this hex nut so that I can install a new stem? Thanks so much for your help.
Linda
