Can't remove well pump

[cabinetman765]

I have a submersable well pump that has gone out. The Home was built in 1973 and I have lived in the house 3 years. My plumber and I tried for hours to remove the pump for replacement. It (and I know what i'm describing isn't the pump, but I can't remember what the part is called) has the 1 1/4 hole on top where you screw in a pipe/ make a T kind of thing. We tried everything we could think of. I even called a wrecker out to try to lift it out, but nothing but a broken "T" flying off the threads. I can't tell you much more about it, but I would appreciate ANY suggestions on getting it out so I can replace it.

See if you can get a picture of what is down the hole. It shouldn't be that hard. There maybe a latch.

This is all I could get. May have figured out the problem and found a solution but would like to hear your input.

Sorry, not familiar with that one. Maybe someone else will help out. What are you thinking?

Looking at the corrosion and fit it might be necessary to cut the casing below the pitless adapter and pull it all out in one piece.

Still bet there is a latch or a threaded piece to get it off.

That's what we did today. pump itself is stuck now like the pitless adapter. Poured Muratic Acid down well and waiting about 20 hours. Got water jumped off neighbors byway of a garden hose. The Shower after 3 days was phenominal.

I've often thought the standard installation of a 4" pump in a 4" casing was crazy.

Happy to have a 6" well here.

Good luck!

not even a well driller could get it out, so I have to drill a new well. But thanks so much for the brainstorming help everyone.
