What happens here

To remove a stuck bonnet nut, create a DIY removal tool. Use a screwdriver to tighten the hose clamp of a Fernco coupling around the bonnet nut. Insert a 2-inch ABS pipe into the other end of the coupling and tighten its clamp. This creates a large handle, providing significant leverage to twist the bonnet nut counter-clockwise and loosen it easily.
