What happens here

This project offers practical advice and techniques for dealing with problematic toilet water supply line connections. It demonstrates a forceful but effective method to remove seized corrugated supply lines by breaking their plastic components to gain tool access. Additionally, it briefly touches upon an alternative 'replumb method' for copper lines and, critically, provides a vivid demonstration of the inherent fragility of corrugated metal supply lines, highlighting why they are prone to failure with repeated bending.

see the problem with this corrugated pipe right here is once you bend it in place really you don't want to bend it again and I show you why after I pull this out. Grab right down here and just bend this off, break it off, and it ain't going to take much. And now you're able to put wrenches on it and turn. So now if you have space move this nut back you can try the replum method and that is to take a pair of cannipex cobras and just wiggle this back and forth while gently pulling out I can never get this to do it. But what I was talking about with this corrugated it's good for really about one bend you put it in place you hopefully don't have to mess with it. If you look right here this is super thin copper. Notice I got gloves on because that's probably pee. It doesn't take much to break this out just a couple of bends and you see that and then it just comes apart.
