I removed the pump from the well and it is screwed into the pvc pipe. It seems to be stuck and I am afraid that I will damage it.

What is the best or proper way to remove the old pump from the pvc pipe. It seems to have a plastic nut.

Thanks for your help and I would not even be this far without the help of this forum.

Looks like schedule 80 drop pipe, then a plastic bushing which is screwed into the pump.

Don't worry about damaging the pipe, simply unscrew it out of the bushing, you don't want to use that bushing again anyway..

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
