It's never worked for me, but thats not to say its not worth a try. The strainer is aluminum so if you slip off a bunch of times you will trash it.

Also the bottom of the tank isn't flat so its hard to get a good bite on it.

Harbor Freight has a big 3/4" drive socket set, I use that. One of the American sizes is close enough to grab it.

What some have had luck with, and again this has never worked for me, but... They put a 14mm (?) wrench on the outlet hose and if its good and stuck in the strainer, it will take the strainer out with it when you try to turn it.
