        It Twists off ~ & Yes, can be quite difficult to get moving ~ I have had some that require

the use of ChannelLocks ~ The ExpansionTank should be Filled to the top ~But~ Close is Good

Enough ~ Might want to apply a bit of Petrol'Jelly or SiliconeGrease to the Threads & Seal so as

to make it easier next time ~
