So the bell is not attached/screwed onto the hanger in any way? :scratch:

I want to make sure before I try to loosen the bell from the hanger.

The bell slid down about 1/4 of an inch, but it seems like the rust on the pipe inside the bell hanger will not let it slide down any further. Any ideas? :scratch:

Yes if I can remember,the hanger itself has to be unscrewed and the bell should pull up over the pipe where the hanger. The hex nut sits in a recess in the bottom of the bell.

Should slide down a little further until the nut hits the inside of the bell. This was mine:

I tried to leave enough in the hanger to grip and un-screw it but ended up cutting it out. Made a new 1 1/4 pipe stem and bought new mallable nuts.

The bell slipped down all the way to the nut. :clapping:

I'm going to cut off the pipe tomorrow. :grin:

I'll post pictures as I go along. :hello:

who knows all this info might help someone else. :grin:

The bell seems to collect enough moisture to create the best enviroment for rust. All of them that I've seen have been masses of rust.

I would have thought that very little water or moisture would get in because of the bell. :blink:

In fact I thought that the hanger was going to come right off without any problems. :blink:

I'm glad that this was the only place that rust was a problem. All the other screws came off without a problem. :clapping:
