Looking to see what works best for getting these pipes out of the engine blocks. What has worked best for you guys? :idea

I asked Sandra if she wanted a stack, she said "well duh". :rolling

Here's what we're working on -

Geno I've had good luck with an 18" Rigid pipe wrench. Easier to remove if the block is warmed up first and a little Kroil on the threads helps out too!

OK...here is what I do....I cut the pipe off about 1/2 inch away form the block.....then take a sawzall and cut the pipe at two places longwise....not quite through but enough to weaken the pipe wall....then take a punch and hammer it towards the inside.....

What I do is dab a little oil here, some there, and break out the heavy artillery! https://www.menards.com/main/plumbing/plumbing-tools/hand-tools/wrenches/48-heavy-duty-cast-iron-handled-pipe-wrench/p-1339101-c-8615.htm

I soaked mine for about 4 days with PB Blaster. Used a sharp chisel to break it loose. Worked but I was sweating all the while.

I've been putting PB Blaster on it for about 5 days. I got out the 2' pipe wrench and took a hammer to the end of it and gave it some hammer action and she came out. I like hammer action better than constant pressure, seems to break less things overall, sort of like an impact. Thanks for all the advise guys. :thumb1

Now I'm off to start a stack thread to see what you all have done so Sandra can see them. :smile2
