Best way to remove a rusted faucet?

15 years ago

I am replacing faucets in three bath rooms. I have one that is killing me as far as removing it. It is in three pieces and they are rusted solid. I already tried liquid wrench, WD40, basin wrench, hammer, etc. I was told that I can use a sawzall but I am afraid of damaging the the cultured marble sink and a sawzall is a bit clumsy to use on this project. So, what is the best way to cut off a faucet from the top side of the sink?

He' d have the sink out and faucet off long ago if not for want of some "magic miracle spray" to make it easy.

That never happens...
