He's posted a lot of pics. Does that mean you've seen the nut
in the pics? I would think using a nut would be the typical

get the elbow off.

No. I can't see the nut or even if there is one. He can look and tell

I does get long toothed in his threads. I must be wrong that he spun
the fitting off the strainer - one separated from the motor at the
volute.

Tell us Danny.
