I have a small electric water heater in my shop. The top cover needs to be removed, then the insulation has to come out. It was worth the effort because the anode rod was spent.
In my house, I have a GE hybrid water heater. No amount of breaker bar and man handling would break the anode rod loose. A 1/2" impact wrench did nothing, a 3/4" impact wrench did the trick.
Any future water heater installations will include a removal and re-install with teflon tape before use. That includes RV's as well.
