For the second time in 27 years my laundry/basement sump pump has failed. Almost all the bolts broke taking off the cover, but that's an issue for another day. I cannot get the discharge pipe off the old sump pump. Ive tried a pipe wrench on the pipe flange, no such luck. Should I apply some heat to the metal part of the pump where the pipe connects? Every 15 minute job turns in a two day nightmare especially with a bad back. I have no idea why the original plumber of my house used a plain round flange instead of one you can grip with pliers.
