Our house has 1942-vintage cast iron radiators with a hot-water boiler.
I will need to temporarily remove a radiator while tiling our bathroom floor, but am worried that I may crack the 65-year old joints when torquing on them.
Is there a "trick" to getting these out in one piece so that they can be easily reinstalled?
I've worked a lot with copper, but threaded black iron pipe is new to me.
Appreciate any tips.
Thanks!
