Hi, I need to remove a difficult set of Pop up heads. I bought a metal remover, and have been able to remove the rotating ones OK, but there are two which I believe may be fixed as they are in line with the main drain.
They have been in there since the pool was installed 17 years ago. The existing rotating ones did not rotate, the heads came up OK, but no rotation when in the pool. They rotate when outside of the pool pushing up manually. I bought some new ones and now they rotate. However, I cannot get those Dang main line ones out. It seems that I am not getting all of the 3 edges in the head assembly at the same time. I have spent hours on these two heads. I am wondering if a plastic remover (being more flexible) work? I appreciate any advice.
