Default Appliance Hose Connections

On Feb 2, 7:15*am, "MLS" wrote:
We recently bought a new wash machine. The installers could not remove the hoses
from the faucets, seems they maybe limed on. The installers suggested a plumber
with a torch may be able to remove the hoses. I have applied WD-40 many times to
no avail. Can someone suggest a way to loosen these hose connections without
having to resort to an expensive plumber?
Thanks for any help...

Faucet faces down, maybe a few drops of Lime away might get down the
threads and loosen it. There are strap wrenches that might give enough
grip without ruining the hose fitting.
