So the top pic was the stripped out screw that I worked on with various hacksaw blades, by hand, over a two day period! Pain-in-the-you-know-what! It finally gave, as if by divine intervention, and the pool light began to move. When I pulled it on deck, it looked like something scavenged off the...

This is an older pool and I have brass conduit coming from the metal light niche to the j box. I was reading that this serves as bonding the pool light to the water. Am I correct in this assumption? Would that also serve to bond the cement deck as well, or should I still be looking for a #8...

I understand bonding is different from grounding, however it says to bond together all metal components. Since I only have the pool pump, and no other metal components, and you’re not supposed to bond to the panel or run a grounding rod... I’m not sure what exactly I would need to bond the pump...

It’s all properly grounded back to main, and all boxes are grounded. I know I’m supposed to bond all the metal equipment together, but if I just have a pump, how would I go about that?

Djdonte, Thx so much for the info. It's so strange there is no screw there... Well, more like there's probably an allen screw or some type of hex screw. I began working on it with the hacksaw (wearing a glove and doing it by hand... ugh) for a little while before I got scared I might be...

I’m thinking they are brackets. I got a hacksaw blade in their and felt around cautiously and there seems to be nodes or brackets every few inches that are smooth. You can see one if you look closely at last picture. Would this mean that it should just pop out, or...

Ok thx. I read somewhere about somebody sliding a hacksaw between the metal ring and wall and cutting the screw then using vice scrips to remove the rest of the screw once the light is out. I would try this, but if it is a screw (which I’m still not 100%) I would be afraid of cutting the metal...
