trouble with the p trap
The water in my sink drained very slowly so I decided to clean out the p trap. I unscrewed the p trap, cleaned it out, and it turned out to be completely rusted, so i decided to replace it altogether. Went to a Home Depot looking for a p trap that is similar to mine, and the employee told me they don't even make those kind anymore - he gave me a kit, with a p trap and a wall tube (since i couldn't find a p trap that was the same height and width that i needed)
so now i need to also replace the wall tube - this is where I need help, I don't know how to remove the old wall tube and put in the new plastic one - I tried unscrewing it but it won't budge. - what do I do?

Welcome to the forums.
Based on the age it could be pretty well stuck on.
A picture or two would be real helpful.

Hi, Just an idea. Get a coupling that will fit over the pipe at the wall.The other end of the coupling should fit the PVC. With the coupling in hand simpley cut the old pipe flush with the pipe that comes out of the wall. (use A fine tooth hacksaw) Install the coupling and you're good to go. Those couplings got me out of a lot of jambs. They come in a lot of sizes and types.
