Need help from any of the plumbing experts

http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...2262855&type=3

I can't get this Y trap under my kitchen sink to budge at all and I need to remove it. There is a hole in the bottom of it.

Any ideas that won't damage the in wall piping? Should I just call a plumber?

I didn't see a photo.

What material is the pipe?

Plastic? Cut it out and replace it.

Metal? Replace the under sink pipe with plastic.

JMO.

Yikes. I'd follow Phobia's advice.

Yeah, checking with a local friend that used to be a plumber in the morning. If he doesn't want to mess with it then I will call my plumber. If he exceeds phobia's price suggestion then I am taking Phobia up on his offer.

Why do you need to remove it? What exactly are you trying to do?

There is a hole in the bottom of it now so it needs replaced. But the damn thing won't budge.

Not much space between the wall and the fitting to a) cut it off and b) fit the coupler on to the existing pipe. You're going to have to rip out a lot of wallboard to gain access. If a plumber had that problem in his own home, he'd pay you $60 for that "simple job" in a heartbeat.

I'd be surprised if you couldn't fit a blade back there to cut it off. At most it looks as if you may need to cut an inch maybe of wallboard around the existing pipe for extra space to reach a wrench in there to tighten the clamp on a coupler.

You guys seriously crack me up. You tools took a $50 fix and made it into a thousands of dollars plumbing job.
