does anyone know any tricks to free a seized bayonet
had an old lady whos cooker was 40 years old (she still had the paperwork), the hob had become seriously dangerous
The bayonet hadnt been disconnected for those 40 years and wasnt shifting, pipework was barrel so if i'd cut the bayonet off I didnt have anything to cap it or put a new thread to the pipe.
To make matters worst someone had tiled behind so it was impossible to get enough room to get a grip on the bayonet
Bit of heartbreaking job, couldnt get the oldlady to understand that the cooker was dangerous. Didnt actually have permision to touch it as i was only there for a CP12 and to look at landlords appliances
she was on an assured tennancy so there was no way the landlord was ever going to replace her cooker and she clearly couldnt afford one herself.
It was bank holiday weekend and i was desperate not to turn a vunerable 82 year old ladys gas off and leave her without heating and hot water
