What happens here

First, ensure the water supply is completely off. Position the angle stop wrench onto the nut securing the angle stop to the copper pipe. Use a second wrench or the other end of the specialized angle stop wrench to hold the body of the valve steady. Apply pressure to loosen the nut by turning counter-clockwise. Once the nut is loose, fully unscrew it and remove the old angle stop. Note: The video demonstrates using two separate wrenches for this step, stressing the importance of countering the force to avoid damaging the pipe.

Goal: Carefully remove the existing compression-style angle stop from the water supply line using the appropriate tools to loosen the nuts.

okay so now all of our water is gone beautiful thing about this wrench right here is it's actually designed specifically to take these off okay so what you want to do pop this apart this actually is going to go in here now we can do this right now without the nut on here but when we go to put these on you want the nut on because with the leverage you're applying on this you will totally egg these out do not do that you don't want to do that but for this purpose we're getting rid of these and it's gonna work out good so you just take this a lot of times i like to go as close as you possibly can that way it makes it a lot easier right if you have something real close together the leverage is so much easier to take apart right and so then there we go okay and then it's just a matter of hey getting that off spinning that out all right i'm doing the easy one so damn you can do the hard one okay now our next tool
