You remember that sinking feeling you had when you found you had a couple more bulbs than you expected?

That'll be like watching Wales in a couple of weeks time, that will.

mate I'm bipolar, seems both parents are now Australian, got a welsh name, the Mrs is Scottish, and supporting England seems to be the only sensible option 🙂

I would recommend doing it during draining the system as its much easier to get it loose because the pressure is everywhere the same therefore easier to make it loose. I never had an issue like this before.

I would use a box spanner and tap it slightly to make it a bit loose it this doesn't help you may end up making it hot and then using a box spanner but you need to becareful in general as its under pressure with hot roasting water and very thin copper.
