" ... Easy instructions to follow but I would recommend using a 3/8 or 1/2 inch impact wrench (not an impact driver that won’t work) like an Milwaukee m12 with the correct size sockets listed in the instructions to remove the old anode - they are really in there pretty tight from the factory and just pulling on it with a socket wrench and or breaker bar won’t do it and you will end up calling in a plumber. ...
