Well I couldn't get the 3/4 inside the nipple so I tried the 1/2 which went in and once turned, it locked but would give when I put enough pressure on it with a crescent wrench. Guess I'm look into a filler rod, which seems like it will be the next best course.

Well I haven't tried it yet so idk if it is stuck but I've heard they torque them down pretty tight from the factory.

Would either of these work?

I'm just afraid I may not be able to loosing it and if I destroy the threads, I'm out of luck. Didn't know if there was a better way. I've heard about inserting a filler rod and using lock nuts but I'm not fully aware of the technique behind it.

Hello all, how does one remove an anode rod from a water heater when the threads are only visible? A pipe wrench will more then likely crush the nipple. The water heater is a Bradford White.
