So I have new. Stainless steel tank, and I finally have the water heater out of the coach.
Now, how do I get the assembly with the thermostat , etc. off of the old rusty tank? It appears the only thing holding it on is a couple of metal things that were either pressed or screwed on to the pipe nipples. I cannot see how to remove those.
I tried taking a vise-grips to a pipe nipple. But they must be seized into the tank because the only thing I succeeded at was stripping the pipe threads as the vise grips slipped around the pipe.
I found lots on the web about getting the tank out of the coach, but very little about disassembly.
All advice appreciated.
