How I Removed and Replaced Hot Water Tank Anode Rod with a Walmart $40 Impact Wrench

How I removed and replaced a Hot Water Tank Anode Rod with a $40 impact wrench from Walmart.

Note - before attempting to remove the anode rod, be sure to shut off the water intake valve to the Hot Water tank and drain a couple gallons of water out of the Hot Water tank first! Draining a couple gallons of water will help to relieve the internal water pressure inside the tank but at the same time maintaining as much weight as possible in the tank to try to minimize the possibility of the tank from turning in the process of trying to remove the anode rod. Especially important if you do not have an assistant with you to help hold the tank from turning or spinning.
