It is done Slopster, the original is mortared in but there is no need to do that, especially on the replacement
Good deal then for Optimizer owners!  WOOT!  :thumbup:

Just wanted to let KarlK and others know I have had the nozzle in for three days now and so far has been running great  :thumbup:
Thanks KarlK for a great part, it hasn't plugged up at all in the three days running. The only problem was how P&M told me to remove the old nozzle. It will not come out the way the factory told me to remove it  :bash: :bash: :bash:

They said to just pry it up from the bottom. This separated the joint in the main refractory and that's when I stopped and spoke with slimjim. Whom ever thought the nozzle should be mortared in at the factory should rethink there engineering skills  :bash:. This nozzle
was in so tight it had to be broken apart from the top side with a support from the bottom.
