... to install a new anode in your water heater. I just did mine!
The last one I installed was 4 years ago so I thought it was time. Since my water heater is in the basement with not to much room overhead, I went with a segmented anode which made it lots easier to installed. I just pulled the old one up until it hit the ceiling, put a vise grip on it and cut it with a hacksaw and took it out in two pieces. The hardest part was loosening the 3/4" pipe thread on the old one; even with a breaker bar it was not easy.
Who's next?
