Go get yourself a new bulkhead. This time, ensure it is a threaded one.

I won't use threaded ones anymore.. it is just another place for salt creap.

cut the pipe about 2" from the bulkhead then you can always use a coupler to rejoin it laiter when you use it again.

You CAN buy something that eats the glue but i think it is very toxic, i saw it on one of those homeimprovement type shows where it was more of a problem to cut and replace...but the glue melts the pvc o bond it so...who knows how well it really works.
