Replacing my anodes as part of 800hr service.
The ones in the cylinder sleeve jacket are tricksy. Main bolt unscrews but machine bolt and anode left behind and quite stuck in there.
Any tips to safely extract? Feel like I need some kind of puller gadget. I tried pulling on one screw but the zinc just broke off and remained in the hole. I'm a little afraid to drop either the bolts or zinc fragments into whatever is behind them...
