I went to change the Zinc rod in my Kohler 5K generator. When I unscrewed the bolt the Zinc rod had broken off right above the screwed in bolt. I tried to move the Zinc but it is wedged in tight. It is impossible to apply any pressure to the stuck Zinc rod without taking off the complete heat exchanger.
Questions:
1. Can I just leave the broken Zinc Anode in the generator and let it deteriorate and check frequently?
2. How hard is it to remove the heat exchanger? Then any suggestions for getting out the wedged Zinc Anode.
Thanks again for everyone's help.
You guys have saved me a lot of money in professional boat repairs.
