Re: [VAC] power and water
Hal, it can be a slow go before you
succeed, but succeed you will. Let it
sit overnight and give capillary
attraction time to do its thing with
the penetrating oil.
When you take the wrench to it next
time, try wrapping one of those rubber
jar openers around the cap before
your wrap the wrench's jaws around
the rubber material. I like that
method because I have more "feel"
for how much strength to use. I don't
want to create a new problem by
muscling a distortion into the neck.
If still no go, keep the pipe wrench
tight and lightly tap the handle with
your hammer. The goal is not to break
anything, but at the same time, give
the cap enough of a shock to start
movement in the threads.
