Hi Folks, Thought I would attend to a leaking Top Water Outlet Manifold today. I managed to get the nut off the top with not too much effort.
Having removed the top hose, I then hit a further problem. I find that the neck of the Outlet Manifold is badly corroded and is in a very delicate state.
The Manifold does not want to release itself from the stud. I have given it a splash of WD40 but as yet it doesn't want to release.
I managed to get around the Gasket with a stanley knife thinking that may be holding it but no joy there.
I have thought about carefully drilling the Manifold down the side and then splitting it to release it from the stud.
Does anyone out there have any further suggestions on how to release it from the stud. ?
