How to remove a corroded nut under a sink.?

We are putting in a new faucet in the bathroom sink, but the gasket or bolt on the pipe just under the sink is so corroded we can't get it off.

    Get 2 pipe wrenches or channel locks on there - one to unscrew the hoop and yet another to diminish back it up so that you're not any further twisting the pipes. per chance you want more suitable pipe wrenches to get more suitable leverage. The backup wrench could bypass on the catch or perhaps if the nut is threaded onto.
