plumbing ?
 
Electric water heaters have sacrificial anodes

Has any ever had one replaced one in TV?

How did the plumber get the old one out & install a new one when the water heater is installed in a closet in the garage with minimum overhead clearance?

They make collapsible anode bars for that application

Home Depot has them for about $35

You can get collapsible anode rods but wouldn't the original rod installed at the factory be one piece? If it's one piece, how would the plumber remove it?

Simply install a drywall ceiling access panel.
