Leaky valve stem can’t be removed, patio post blocking access. Help!

I’m trying to replace the valve stem on my outdoor spigot due to a leak, but I’ve hit a snag. There’s a post right next to the spigot that prevents the valve stem from being pulled out all the way. The previous home owners installed a covered patio in my backyard, and one of the posts/support beams is about 6-8” from the hose bib.

A handyman came by, but he couldn’t get it out either and suggested removing the bricks and permanently moving the hose bib so it’s not in front of the post. He quoted me $800-$1000.

I’m hoping to avoid dismantling the brickwork. Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? Are there tools, techniques, or workarounds for removing the valve stem in a tight space like this?

Here are some details:

  • The spigot is functional but the valve stem needs replacement.

  • The post is fixed and can’t be moved.

Any advice or ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
