    Fitting of new water pipe in BE (F7P/R)

    Need your help guys!

    Got hold of a F7R BE.
    Unfortunately water pipe in the BE was very corroded.

    Pipe was difficult to get out - but its even more difficult fitting the new one.
    As the pipe it self is angled its not possible just hitting it "gently" with a hammer......

    Any advice appreciated

    what i would personally do provided you are not short of space
    is to fit a clamp over the straight
    bit of the pipe than get 2 pieces of wood ,position them
    behind the clamp in a symetrical way than beat the living daylights
    out of them gently :D
    might help using some grease as well

    Thanks.....

    Issue sorted.

    Used a hammer with a hard plastic head - with "gentle" persuasion i hammered the living daylights out of the pipe!!!

    - hammer is no more......
    Need to get a new one!
