Default source for water heater anodes?

It's not much hassle really to check an anode.. All it takes is a 1

I have no room to get a "good bar" in there and have been trying to remove
the anode on mine for a month now. It feels like I need someone to hold
the tank while I turn, so the tank doesn't twist and rip loose from the
gas piping.

I'm glad rusted things on the 18yo car aren't this hard to get off.


Try an impact wrench or torque multiplier, if you have either one.
