Last year I replaced the o ring on my pump lid and lubricated it with some "Lube Tube" from the pool store.
This year I have to put a long bar through the handle to give me some leverage removing it and ended up putting a small crack where the one of the handle mounts into the overall lid. This makes it really difficult to get at the basket (that plus there's apparently a strong vacuum with water going everywhere when I eventually remove it) and was wondering if anyone could recommend something before I end up breaking the whole lid. Thanks!
