Hi...having trouble removing an old nipple from one of my pool returns. I believe the nipple is a Hayward that would fit the SP1419A 1-1/2 Inc Hydrosweep fitting.

I've tried Channellock pliers but the nipple starts to crack. I've tried needle nose pliers opened to match the grooves along the inner diameter of the nipple, but can't get enough torque. Any other tools or suggestions?

Thank you!
