It's already loose.the T breakes out even with the correct tool.a expanding tool might save them the cost of a plumber.but when it's all this welded together ,concider that if the trap snaps and there is no acsess ecept through the wall of a two story home.you might have just turned a twenty dollar over the old one investment into a plumber a stuco repair and a plumber.a grand at least.you don't fix this with a good pair of Chanel locks.you Will ruin those aswell.a dremel tool and small diamond blade and then a hack saw with no top bar going over it.anf you still might break the trap where the overflow and the p trap are just fitted together without being solid.water in drains is not a pressure fitted water tight strength.its gravity.seal and if it backs up it will leak.i love the dys vidios on the web..but watch more than one.im sure this works once in a while .but old plumbing is the hardest thing I've ever had to do.son of a plumber and thirty years as a bathtub refinishing contractor and kitchen and bath remodel.
