Great thread, I just replaced both ck valves due to them making a singing kind of noise whenever we used hot water. It was a bear to remove them! I had good access through a panel door, (thanks Winnebago) but one (of course the furthest one) was installed so tight I actually had to use a pipe wrench after the 1" wrench rounded the brass off. Yeah, I couldn't believe it either! Only had a 1/4 turn so once that corner was ruined the pipe wrench came out. I didn't tighten the new ones quite so tight!
Think I'll invest in a set of socket/rachets.
All is well now, Mo's happy.
