I've become a fan of diy.net when it comes to problems like this. Find
the forums or internal dicussion groups and ask your question.

I apoloigize ahead of time for this off topic post but I figured with all
the people out there some one may have the answer.

My house was buildt in the 50's and has the iron sewer pipes under the
house. The cleanouts look like a two piece afair. The first is a
tapered piece that is held in with picking or lead and the screw out
piece is in the middle. Of course they are all frozen and stuck.
Question, do you think heat would help free them??? If so would you heat
the center piece or the piece it screws into??? I don't know if they
make those pieces any more to dig out the packing and replace them. Most
everything is plastic. I guess you can figure out why I need to get to
the clean out. If some one knows a web site I would be happy to go
there.
Sorry again for the off topic post.
