The Magnesium seem to wear out quicker than Aluminum.
I bought the Magnesium figuring it will give better protection but may need to be changed 'sooner' in the future.
SKU SP8371B ...... $42.95
I didn't think it made any difference, but the one I ordered is made by Rheem (same as tank).
I will assume the quality will be all it's surpose to be.
Today I'm going to Harbor Freight to purchase their
Electric Impact Wrench.
With Discount, it will cost $45 (better than paying a Plumber).
As a last resort, I would use a 4' cheater bar with Breaker Bar.
Either method I use, I know I will also need another person to keep the Tank from rotating.
Thanks so much, I went to HD and Lowe's both didn't have it in my WH size. I'll try 2 more stores tomorrow and else will order online, it's cheap ONLINE!
Please keep me posted about how it'll go. I'll do the same, of course
Mine from supplyhouse is not sure an aftermarket or made by rheem/ruud? I'll ask and check.
