[Amps] 4CX1000 removal

[Bill Coleman]

The tube anode cooler is only about ¼” above the chimney. I cannot get
enough grip to rotate the tube.  Removing the chimney is almost out of the
question – lots of other stuff is in the way.  

I’m thinking about making a tool that I clamp on the center anode post to
give me some leverage. 

Any reason to not apply rotational force to the post??

THANKS – and other ideas welcome!   73, Bill  N2BC
