[8866nk]

hi guys
not totally sure of what its called but i have to remove the heater sender unit on my 2000sc series 1 and it is stuck solid!
i can't budge it
is there a way to remove it without totally buggering the thing?
would applying heat help? (heat gun not blow torch)
tried applying oil and its still siezed solid!
i figured it would only be just nipped up , am i wrong?

Is it on a taper thread ? Would it matter if it broke as it's (presumably) brass and the remains could be chipped out

ah!
so its not the end of the world to drill it out then?
i feel its been bodged in at some point, and thats not me either for a change!
right, time to get brutal then
cheers
