Well... we tried all the above suggestions, and still couldn't get it all of the way in. I believe it is the right part number. In my Suburban water heater instructions, it only shows one part number for the anode which is 231624. It looks just like the old one too, so we'll see if it leaks when we start flushing the tanks. Thanks for all of the suggestions.
One last question... was the old one supposed to look like that? Having never changed one before, we were shocked at what it looked like, and how there was almost nothing left of it.
Thanks again,
Shannon
