I am about to remove the chrome exterior gravity feed water inlet on the street side of my 64 Shasta. I am a bit intimidated about this since I do not want to break it. I know it will unscrew once the 4 screws are removed, but I am unsure of how much effort will need to be exerted. Any tips on tools or techniques would be much appreciated. Bryan

I did it! I used some penetrant oil, and let that sit for about an hour. Then I took a plumbers pipe wrench and adusted it so it spanned the flats on the upper and lower edge of the fill inlet next to the camper. I applied gentle force, and it budged. At that point I just unscrewed it off.
