Seven year old house —— remodeling job. Need to temporarily disassemble and remove existing b-type gas vent line for clearance / access. DuraVent brand in good condition 5″ diameter. Am finding it impossible to rotate pieces by hand at fittings/connections to disengage sections because of the large circumference…………. no screws just “fit and twist” style connections. Is there a special tool to do this??
Thanks for the education …………

outside of a puller like for an oil filter.........
take two belts, loop one around in one direction, loop the other on the next fitting in the opposite direction.
pull - tighten - and - twist...........
Works great on an oil filter and a few other non usual loosening projects
Yeah, that would be a "strap
Yeah, that would be a "strap wrench". Never seen any large enough for B vent, but easy enough to make.
Two Belts.
leather belts have some serious gription. Size is only dependant on your waistline.
Yeah
Make two oil-filter-wrench type tools. That stuff really gets stuck together...
