VerifiedHello, thank you for your question. I have used a chain wrench if it fits in the space it might work very well. The nipex https://amzn.to/3JtY9PN Swedish wrenches are very nice, yes, I have used and own. Very quality wrenches. Heating the joint is a great idea, penetrating fluid is also a good idea. Jus a suggestion for you. Cut the pipe out with a sawzall and take the pipe apart one joint further back. Might give you more room to work and save you some time. Unless the next joint it 20 feet away. Best of luck. Hopefully this answers your questions. If not send a message and I will be happy to clarify.
