How do you 'unstick' a seized Garbage Disposal Unit?
Have an Insinkerator(sp?) garbage disposal unit in the kitchen.
Badger 1-83A with a power cord. The kitchen sink was not used very often, and the disposal not run for a while, suspect rusted 'solid' Called 800 558 5700 and was told the wrench should enable to unstick [it did not] and don't recommend using any chemicals. Probably have to replace. Ok, so if I have to replace what do I lose by simply trying chemicals? Does anybody know some way to unstick this thing? maybe muriatic acid to eat rust, or Whink, HF acid, or ?? I tried lengthening the short 1/4 inch allen wrench to about a foot, but still solid. Any ideas? I even tried the 800 ft-lb 'hammer wrench' feature of Rockewell's 3Rill drill to no avail. May have started to strip the allen wrench hole, though. |
