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.


My water heater is firmly held to the wall with the required earthquake
strap.

We can assume you are from Kalifornia. Most other states don't have a
"requirement" for an "earthquake strap."

Nope. Seattle.
