[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3677988, member: 24867"] I just learned the same lesson. First cheap ratchet broke. Then I got a good 1/2 ratchet with a lead pipe for leverage and couldn’t budge it. Then I went to my 1/2” impact and that wouldn’t move it either. I went head and just drained the tank fully and I’m going to call it done for now. The tank is going to have to come out if I have any prayer of removing that anode. I guess I could just let it run until it quits on me. It’s at 10 years right now. Maybe if I can get it to run for two more I’ll end up just swapping it out. Right now it seems unnecessary to spend several hundred dollars replacing it if it’s still working. I was just wanting to get some maintenance done on it. [/QUOTE]
