How do *get if off ?


Put a small screwdriver blade against it and tap the handle of the
screwdriver lightly with a small hammer.


I'll give it a try.
Thanks.


put a vise clamp on the nut and twist counterclockwise. the nut is
usually thick enough to be grapped securely by a vise clamp. You may
need to hold onto the contraption inside the tank to keep it from
turning.
