Uninstalling Ideal Concorde CX70 from church cellar...

[harrygashull]

On Tuesday we will be attempting to remove an old Ideal concorde CX70 from a church cellar, the boiler has a dry weight of apron 330kg and the space is awkward for lifting...

I notice on the installation instructions that the boiler could and more than likely was delivered in pieces... after all of these years what are the chances of us being able to remove it in the same fashion all be it in reverse. will the pieces have fused together and require the gentle persuasion of a sledge hammer?

any advice is appreciated... and before you say, no we can't leave it down there...

thats fine you will either need a big sledge and a wedge

grinder works
rep saw works

cut the round nipple on the 2 corners / 4 courners

bare will look like this

stripping / sections
