In need to replace a pipe that the threds have rusted off.
But the part thats inside the main pipe is rusted solid.
I used the biggest wrench I could find and sprayed WD-40 on it and it won't budge, any suggesttions?:confused:

you need to put down that 14'' pipe wrench and step up to a 24''
If you are dealing with real stubborn one inch pipe or smaller this will be effective. Although the possibility does exist of the pipe wall caving inn instead of backing out of the fitting.
