Does anyone know if there’s any tool that is good for unscrewing bottom part of the faucet?

I have very tight corners so unscrewing it with spanar is a nightmare.

I’m referring to the white plastic part

Easier to hold the plastic with screw driver and turn the faucet.

Only good if the plastic is not old otherwise it’ll crack and brittle very fast

Yes, I bought one dozen to back up ...cuz the plastic will crack easily. Since it's so cheap.

Turn the faucet anticlock and it will losen the nut. Use hand to slowly remove the nut. You may find some difficulty if the old white tape is thick... use a pen knife to cut away the old tape..

just use a long head screwdriver/point the tip to the white plastic lock
and a hammer to knock the screwdriver . this will loosen and turn .
it will unlock soon .
