Thanks for the tip about the socket saver, diehard. That worked really well. No leaks. Appreciate your help.

The upper elbow ends in an unthreaded male taper that is compressed (by the nut) into an unthreaded female taper recessed in the trap. The outside diameter of the trap is threaded to accept the nut. The upper male end is cracked vertically, about 1.5” long.

Please see attached picture. Upper 90 deg elbow is cracked at the trap fitting. It will not loosen from its drain connection despite heating. There does not appear to be a lot of room to install a new piece if I were to cut the elbow out. Any suggestions? Thank you.
