    Can't disconnect pitless adapter

    I just rapped it up.The last company to "fix" the well didn't install a brass nipple like they told me they did. The nipple rusted out just like it did a few years ago.I guess they didn't want to spend $8.00 on brass since they were only charging me 2000. Thanks for all the help especially to...

    That makes sense, I looked down the inside of the pipe and thought it looked like some sort of screw.How far do I unscrew it and does it allow the lever to go up or down? Do I then need to pry the fitting apart or will it just seperate?Thanks so much for the info.Gary

    Can't disconnect pitless adapter

    Can't disconnect pitless adapter

    The adapter I have looks similar to that drawing.The "actuator" lever doesnt appear to have ever had a cable on it. I've tried everything to get this dang lever to release but I'm not sure if it needs to go up or down.I made a hook and tried every thing I could think of with no luck.Any suggestions?

    Can't disconnect pitless adapter

    Thanks for all the info.I made up a hook today at work I hope it will be strong enough to lift the lever and release the adapter.Theres already a "t" on the end of the upright pipe so I cant possibly drop it into the well.I havent decided if I want to try this after work or wait until the...

    After I make up a hook and lift the leg will the adapter slip apart or am I going to have to make up something to pry it apart also?

    Can't disconnect pitless adapter

    I'm hoping its going to be so easy once I figure this dang thing out that I'll replace the pump next time.The last time this happened the pump was 15 years old and it did the same thing for months.It was still working fine and only replaced it on recommendation of well company.I'm sure I'm...
