Help removing bulkhead

[Pntbll687]

Need some help on this one.

Bought this 20 long used for $10.

The one bulkhead was no problem and I removed it. This one I'm not sure what to do with. I need to remove it in order to clean and de-rim the tank. The problem is that the previous owner glued pvc pipe into it. The nut itself is easy to turn and the bulkhead comes loose, but I can't get it totally removed because of the pvc pipe/union.

Any ideas? I'm not concerned with breaking the bulkhead as I have new ones. I just didnt want to go at it with a saw and vibrate the tank and have it crack.

Sounds like cutting it is about your only choice. Can You leave it in place & reuse ?

The make PVC cutters that you can use one handed. They are like a scissor. It won't stress anything.

i used a small metal saw and cut it. It was easy. I was worried about nothing
