Been there and done that.  Such a small access that I'm bruised on the arm and ribs from squeezing in there.

I hit the mass with a 5 lb hammer and nothing budges!

Keep em coming!

Never heard of that product Mark, but I'll see if I can find it.  Soda blasting would only hot the surface, but maybe could help a bit at a time.

Keep those ideas coming!

Thanks,

Another thought. Since you are in a yard - soda blasting? It would be a mess to clean up but it would probably do the trick.

Problem is getting the old one out of the chain locker.  It won't budge because it's all rusted together.  The limited access to the locker means the fix has to be chemical rather than mechanical. Acid would probably do it but fumes from muriatic acid would every toxic.  I soaked it vinegar for 24 hrs and no improvement.

Need some other suggestions.

I've also discovered that the last 100ft or so of my anchor chain is rusted into a huge solid mass in the chain locker.  I've sprayed a ton of PB Blaster on it and beat it with a hammer without much success.  Right now I'm soaking it in Vinegar.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
