But, I've heard that some plumbers that put the drop elbow too far back will screw in a nipple and a coupling as the correction of their poor work. If you have this situation, you're bottoming out on the coupling inside the wall. If you confirm that with a screwdriver only going as deep as the wall, then you'll have to chisel the hole larger in order to get the coupling and nipple out...the escutcheon will still cover the new hole.
What you're suggesting is that it has a coupling on it and it's hung up because the hole in the wall is too small. Could be. But you'd think he'd then be saying it's loose and flopping around., pulls partially out, and just won't come out the rest of the way.Typically those holes aren't tight and you'd think it would be kind of obvious that it's hanging up on something, but he says it just turns and turns. Also, is this what we think it is, ie a shower arm
1/2" pipe that goes from the shower head into the wall? There are other shower gizmos today and shower arm may mean something else to the OP.replying to trader_4, Iggy wrote: We'll have to wait and see if he gets back with any progress. Maybe you're right and it's some never-should've-been-buried, installed, approved, allowed nor patented Quick-Connect or Shark-bite type of PEX idiocy.

What did u end up doing for this. I have the exact same issue. I keep spinning it and it’s not coming out
If you want the shower arm off, you'll have to send $3000 in bitcoins to my account. Signal your agreement and I'll send you payment details. Once you pay, your wrench will be effective again in less than 10 minutes. I hope you signed up for the ransom option on your homeowners insurance.
And don't bother calling a plumber. I'll charge him 4000 and you'll have to pay his normal fee too.
Did you ever figure it out? I am having the same issue. Wondering if something is different because of it being a mobile home? I know the sinks were complicated.
