I tried to replace a corroded galvanized T and the T broke off of the 8" galv pipe that goes into a coupler that is screwed onto a 1" sched 80 pipe. I then tried to unscrew the pipe from the coupler and the pipe broke off the coupler (again corroded). All I had holding the pipe/wire/pump was a large channel lock under the lip of the coupler. I then drilled a 3/8" hole thru the coupler and rammed a 3/8" piece of rebar thru it. That is what is now holding my whole concern from going down the well. I think it's about 100' with water to I can only pull it up about a foot or 2 by hand, it is so heavy. With the rebar T'd thru the coupler I can now pull it up a few feet with a chain and front end loader. I need to unscrew the coupler from the PVC and screw a new one on. Question is how to grip and hold the pipe a couple feet out of the well while I pipe wrench the coupler off and put new one back on.
Thanks
