Frozen Waste Fitting

Hi all!

We are returning to Winterlude shortly. One of our first priorities now that WL is back in the US to get some stuff fixed, is to unfreeze the deck waste fitting. We've tried two BIG screwdrivers and hit them with large hammers in opposite directions to try and move it. We tried to heat it, but didn't succeed as much as we'd like because the deck is teak & we chickened out. We tried WD-40 and PBlaster and anything else we could think of, but it still won't budge.

Any ideas ... short of replacing it? We'll have to get it fixed asap to use the pumpout in the marina! David is not looking forward to taking it out....

THX! Jan
