[QUOTE="Calman, post: 843303, member: 3341"] Just had this experience only last week.Might just as well go ahead and pull pipe and all,and replace it all.The whole set up was just 3 yrs old and we still couldn't get the sucker rod out.we pulled pipe and all and cut into pieces with a torch,except the sucker rod was wood and had to be cut with a hack saw.It was so rusty we couldn't brake the pipe loose at the joints.Make sure you get a good hold on the bottom pipe remaining in the well or it will fall back in the casing and then you are in big trouble.The working cylinder is made of brass and if you are lucky all you have to do is clean it.And last but not least remember that all leathers are faced with the cup up.We went back with all new pipe and fiberglass sucker rods.Was able to save the working cylinder.
