Any Spa Repair knowledge on here. Cracked plumbing help needed w/ video.

[Trick]

My tub was poorly winterized a couple years ago. I'm trying to fix it. I pulled the tub, located the leak, flip the tub and cut the insulation away.

I'm having issues with removing the 90* fitting and how it's attached through the spa wall.

I think I would need to totally remove and replace that piece that goes through the spa wall. Could you guys watch this video and tell me what to do?

I did find a couple local spa repair guys, that could come out. Which I'm fine doing, but I would like to remove and prep this as much as possible to keep the price down. (I got a quote of $550+ material, if I flipped the tub. I got that far and figured I might want to attempt the repair myself.

Put a screwdriver in between the castellations of that fitting (on the inside of the tub), and gently try to unscrew the fitting from the tub.

You may want to have your wife hold the 90 from the out side to keep it from moving while your doing that.

I did that. You think it should just pull right out?

I didn't try to just pull it out. I know there's some caulk holding it in but maybe that is the only thing holding it...hrm. I'll try that tomorrow after work.

Peice of cake, thanks.
