Quick plumbing question. The motorized valve on my c/h has failed (spindle leaks and shorts out the motor). I'm all set to replace it, but I can't get it out.
The pipes either side are 28mm and won't move apart far enough for me to pull it out.
So, do I:
(a) pull harder?
(b) cut the pipe leading to it, remove some piping and then somehow replace it afterwards?
I don't have a pipe cutter that size, but it can't be any worse than cutting down a steerer I suppose.
I hate plumbing. But plumbers are like hen's teeth for some reason round here
