[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 740171, member: 323322"] Hey, don't worry too much - the job has been by far and away a good 'un. But I'm sorry you've had this hitch. Now, I do like your technique with separating the joint, so perhaps you could pop over and get my Immersion Heater out of my HW Cyl. ............. I tried a purpose-made spanner, lots of WD40 (Not a good idea on potable water joints), a small hammer, a blow torch, a large hammer and finally a lump hammer. Result? Fractured the end of the element casing within the water (by transmitted shock), causing water to track up the element tube and seep out of the top of the housing. Managed to seal it by cunning (Almost VS like!) deployment of an undersize 8mm compression stop-end, but there it sits to this very day. Inoperable. [/QUOTE]
