What would a plumber have used to remove the steel nipple?
Even with the right penetrating oil, I would think they don't have the time to wait as long as it seems to take.

ce you collapse it it will peel right out leave you a nice undamaged thread for the new nipple.
rome-plated metal drain tubing and crush it easily with a pair of Cha-nel-l ock pliers.
auge drain tubing.
+1 It's obviously a 1 1/2 galvanized nipple, which is commonly what you find coming out of the wall, not chrome plated drain tubing.- Vote on answer

A relatively small triangular file.

My guess is a plumber would use Kroil. S/he would wait 10 minutes and if it that didn't work, would use a hacksaw blade to carefully cut a slit (or maybe two slits) in the nipple so it could be crushed and removed.

Clearly DD bob k doesn't know the answer (so why does he reply?).
A bottle jack, on top of a support that spread out the force so that the cabinet was protected would have provided more leverage. Strategically placed BFH blows might also have worked.
However most plumbers would have done exactly what you did, only without the pictures.

cr-
DD post a LOT of volume....quite a lot, he posts as "facts or answers" which are clearly wrong. He has a history of NOT taking advice from VERY experienced users of this group and dragging them out with a never ending flow of "wrongness" masquerading as fact.
You've probably missed most of the threads he's started....
They begin with questions but then evolve into "lectures of experimental results presented by the class dunce" Reminiscent "frogs with no legs cannot hear"
I would suggest this instead....
Please do not post to a.h.r "established facts" when they are really just what you believe to true based on a single event & no real experience.
Besides I have hard time letting go the fact the DDD "topped" a 50+ year old oak because it blocked his view. :( And that he is an ultimately slow learner who spends his time posting drivel rather than learning....
