Anyone know how to remove the water fill on my 64 Astrodome?

Is it the one for the pressurized water tank?

If it's steel into the tank, you will probably have to get it pretty HOT. Torch it inside and out (hose nearby) and have a helper with welding gloves. Heat and try to turn, heat and turn some more. The trouble is the fill-it's pot metal and will break if not you're not extra gentle. Another option is to cut the original pipe and then remove the fill with the pipe in a vise. It's a lot safer to heat it up that way. Take care-the fills are spendy to replace...
