Break the pipe. Try pouring WD-40

eccentrics have the usual carving, don't be afraid with a gas wrench
pilot in time:

Sergey Dmitriev:
You need 2 jeeps - you twist with one, you hold the pipe with the second.
Soggy,(it means ❝wet❞):
The candle heats up a little. It’s useless ... It’s best with a blowtorch, or with a burner. He heated it up, .. then cooled it sharply (doused it with water), .. heated it up again ... and it gets out easily.
Slaventy Rabinovich:
I agree about the VD-40 (and about the second gas key), it happened that at first glance such hopeless nuts were unscrewed, maybe it will help here. This “grease” (in cans) is sold most often in car dealerships and gas stations. The thing is excellent. I use it at home, at work and in the car. When I first learned about it, it even reached fanaticism.
Can't find the fire?
If they are completely stuck, and the clutches are too, there is only one way out: first they drank flush with the clutch, then file the remnants of the eccentrics from the inside with a good canvas and knock them out with something, such as a beard, a nail, etc.
Mirage:
Try to heat it up a lot, cool it down sharply (physics-the body changes the size of the heating temperature) and unscrew it quickly
costiann:
heat - burn flax to red eccentrics and unscrew the paint from the batteries)) , heated over a gas stove before twisting - cool, yes .. physics rules)) and without a gas key (even two) it’s not worth taking, nothing will work.
Spitz Pomeranian:
You have to unscrew it counterclockwise. Is this an eccentric? Then try with a gas wrench if the edges are round. First, unscrew the shiny reflector with your hands and a gap to the wall for the key will open.
vera stylovskaya:
Between the threads there is a 16 mm square, take a 17 wrench or an adjustable wrench. And with effort, but carried fanaticism so as not to break, counterclockwise.
Cat smile:
I read the comments, take / buy if not, a nut on the external thread / - you screw it on the visible thread of the eccentric, and then, taking not Gas! , and the Plumbing wrench is 3 - by the nut, you twist)) ... questions in a personal)) ... you can apply lubricants! ...
Sergey Dmitriev:
old style eccentric? stupidly unscrew the gas counterclockwise. You don't need it anymore - throw it away. If you can’t crawl with a key, then you need to insert a hexagon or a suitable object into the eccentric and unscrew it.
sherlock holmes:
If there is no hexagon, then you can insert into the eccentric, for example, the handle from the pliers. I just fit and twist comfortably. You can lock 2 nuts on the outer thread and unscrew the inner nut (from the wall)
How to spin an eccentric
Due to the slight difference in the design of the traditional and adjustable eccentric, their installation differs only in some nuances, but more on that later.
In general, to install the eccentric in place, you need:
- Set the locking lever to the "Open" position.
- Adjust the nut to calibrate the length of the shaft axis. Tighten it so that there is a small gap.
- Move to the adjustment state, intermediate position between “Open” and “Close”. Install the fixed equipment in the desired position.
- Close the lever, i.e. move it to the "Close" position.
- Check the reliability of fixation - in the "Close" position, the lever should not rotate.
Installation of equipment
Installation of new eccentrics is carried out in two stages:
- at the first stage, it is required to mount the adapter to the pipes;
- at the second stage - the connection of adapters with a mixer.
Fastening the eccentric to the pipes
To attach the device to pipes, you will need:
- keys of appropriate sizes;
- insulating material, which can be linen thread, a special compound, FUM tape, and so on.
Installation is carried out according to the following scheme:
- determination of the optimal position of devices for connecting the mixer. At this stage, it is necessary to calculate the number of revolutions of the eccentric, which must be done for the correct installation of the equipment;
- mixer fitting;
- thread isolation with the selected material;
Thread sealing with linen thread
- eccentric installation.
To protect the cover of the eccentric when tightening the device with wrenches, it is recommended to use a gasket or a union nut.
Faucet attachment to eccentric
The final stage - the installation of the mixer is performed as follows:
- installation of decorative reflectors;
- gasket installation. The gasket protects the junction of the adapter and mixer from leakage;
Insulation of the connection between the eccentric and the mixer
- connection of the faucet and shower hose;
- checking the performance and sealing of the formed joints.
The entire cycle of work on self-replacement of eccentrics is presented in detail in the video.
Thus, independent replacement of eccentrics does not cause problems for beginners. The main thing is to choose the right device.

White Oleg:
Anastasia, you can consider another option - screw the barrels 3/4 into the union nuts of the old eccentrics, and already on them - a new mixer. You will need 2 barrels and 4 3/4 spacers.
Vasila:
I just bow...
Uncle from the Future...
Yes, we understand what mixer you are talking about. . Well, what can we offer... Turn, Nastya, turn. . :)) Here, only being on the spot and seeing all this disgrace, you can decide what and how to unscrew ... And there are so many ways... There is really one universal one - a gas key, but they do not always succeed in making a good grip. . We have ledges inside such old eccentrics. . you can try to drive the chisel and turn the key ... You can also preheat these places .. for example with a gas burner .. .
Synoptic:
Typical situation. There was a domestic mixture, but you put in an imported one. Old eccentrics must be soaked with a “liquid key” or kerosene and unscrewed. If in the process it breaks, you will have to pick the wall to the corner into which it is screwed. I sympathize…

ULTRASONIC:
There was such bullshit. The brass eccentric broke when changing the faucet in the bathroom. Sawed (with a piece of cloth from a narrow hacksaw) into 3 parts and broke one by one. The thread was really damaged a little when sawing, then I had to wrap the fum-tape dofiga on a new eccentric so that it would not flow.
Natalia:
call the plumber
Unknown:
Try to hammer in something like a 3- or 4-sided file and twist it out ..
Marat Zagitov:
You can try with a trihedral file, as they advise, and if it doesn’t work out, then try to carefully saw the creases in 2, 3 places before the tops of the thread start with a piece of metal fabric, and then gouge it out with a beard. You'll have to sweat, but it's true. Good luck.
Pavel Makhov:
In general, before the start of all these gestures, try to take a gas burner (such as a plasma lighter, for example) and strongly (until the cut is charred from the outside) warm up the threaded segment of the ridges (better from the inside). The thing is that it is possible to carefully cut out the pieces from the inside (well, as the previous authors wrote :)), but it is difficult. After all, the carving with a stake stood up most likely because the sealant is linen and oil paint. Well, they need to be burned. And then it’s enough to make a shallow file along the edge of the crease, insert something flat and wide there and turn it out

Inna Timokhina:
can it warm up?
Vladimir Ostankov:
Only two gas keys. With one you hold the pipe, with the other you twist the eccentric. There is no other way.
Down:
They usually break. You take a hacksaw blade and make 2-3 cuts and pick out pieces.
Vladimir Petrov:
You can still spill kerosene, but look for a gas key and they only
Moneypenny, Jane Moneypenny!:
We moisten the cloth well with kerosene, gasoline or turpentine, wrap it around the eccentrics and leave it overnight. In the morning everything will be easy to get out.
Grandfather Au:
try whitening it.
Alex Mishin:
Dismantling is always incomparably more difficult than assembly. Very often you have to cut the pipe with a grinder and unwind it along the nearest yielding joint, often a few meters before the place where you wanted to unscrew it, and lay a new pipe from it in a new way. And once I replaced the mixer with a friend and did not find a better solution than on their eccentric - it was of a “foreign standard”, with a standard 3/4 pipe thread - screw the adapter from 3/4 to 1/2 and screw a new eccentric into it. Another time, the union nuts hung on eccentrics (and not on the mixer body ) and had a pipe thread at the same time - I connected a new imported mixer to them through two "barrels".
Uncle from the Future...
heat with a gas burner ... at the same time, the winding of flax is burned out ..
k190 :
cut in half with a file, jigsaw, needle file and take out the halves
Vlad:
... let's take pictures))) ... then we'll tell you !!!! P.S. There are many options!
Sergey Dmitriev:
If there was an adapter (from a larger diameter to a smaller one), then it goes under the hexagon (diameter 16, or just pliers are possible). And so little information. If on the mixer - just drive the pliers (one sponge) and twist)
Nikolay Pavlukhin:
firstly, this is not an adapter, but an eccentric ... you can carefully cut the inside of the metal with a metal blade in two or three places, but not deep, and then knock down the thread with a chisel or a screwdriver, we do this all the time
Vladimir Zavorotnyuk:
Take a 4-sided file of a suitable size, grind off the notch and hammer tightly into the thread with a hammer. Unscrew with a wrench. Good luck.
vic:
If silumin or brass, make small indentations along the entire length of the break with a round file, then use a thin screwdriver next to the recess to hammer in like a wedge between the pipe and the break, when you break the wall of the fragment, it can be twisted inward further easier, hammer the wedge without deforming the pipes. in place of the file, you can use a drill with a drill to drill through with a recessed drill.

car dealerships sell fixtures for turning out torn studs, buy and try 100% turn it out, pre-drill a hole if there is none and then insert the fixture there and unscrew it (they will not break very strong !!!)
