Have a hose bib that needs to be replaced. Problem is it's tight and I'm
afraid if I twist it too hard something on the other side of the slump block
wall will let go or break. The hose bib has a flange where the pipe screws
on and it's almost against the block. So what should I do?

Spray the fitting with penetrating oil. Then try. This can be
repeated. Channel lock adjustable pliers are your friend.

If you are afraid to break it then be very patient and gentl. If your
are capable of fixing it then sometimes it is easier and faster to
just cut the fitting out with the sawzall and replace.
