Saturday 3 May 2014

Today we will tackle the removal of the superheater elements, should be easy enough, just remove the nut and pull them out, WRONG..!! bloody hard work.

Attempted to remove the superheater element nuts but realised they weren't going anywhere..!!!
Had to call in reinforcements by the name of oxy, the first nut was warmed up but no luck. Heated it up again and got it to budge and with much effort removed the nut freeing up the element. Back breaking stuff. After the nut had been removed, the element needed to be dragged out of the flue and man handled to a set of trestles. By the end of the day two rows had been removed and we called it a day, absolutely stuffed.
