Anne, Remove the rear most fitting, it appears to be a 3/4" wench is
needed. If it will not turn fairly easy, stop. Get the hot water
heater good and hot; shut off the heater. Then, take a can of
compressed air, turn it upside down an shoot a stream of the liquid onto
the fitting only. That should make the fitting contract and break
free. Test out the way the can shoots the cold stuff before you try it
on the fitting. never point the little red tube at yourself or any one
when you do this. The liquid coming out is in the negative 100's of
degrees and is unpleasant to say the least.
