Leaking pressure relief valve.
I need to replace my relief valve on the water heater but man this thing is tight. I really don't want to pound on it. I figured I'd get it hot first but is there a special wrench or? Thanks!

Before replacing, try 'cleaning' it. There could be some debris in the seal area. With the water cool/cold but under pump pressure, flip it open and closed a couple of times, this might be enough to clean it and stop the leak, also a good time to turn the pump off and re-establish the air bubble. Cost $zero.
If that doesn't work, time to replace.
