Experts:
Is WD-40 a similar product to Liquid Wrench? I thought WD-40 was for
lubrication, while Liquid Wrench was what would be called for in cases
like this. (If hoses of OP's problem are metal threaded connectors.)
(This is based on a plumber needing to open a 3 inch sewer clean-out who
disdainfully remarked on the use of WD-40 for rusted black iron pip.)
WD-40 is to displace water.That is what the WD is for.
It is also good for moles, colds, and tight assholes.
If you need to loosen tight and rusted bolts you need a penetrating oil.
Kroil is the best that I have used.

We use it by the case where I work.
If something needs lubercating find the correct oil for the application.
Guess that you can tell that I have no use for WD-40. I have not had the
need to give it a try for the origional application.
I agree, Kroil is good and so is Wuerth Rost Off (likely only found at
a German car parts store though.) If neither of those are available
PB Blaster or Seafoam Deep Creep are still preferable to WD-40.

Ditto on the Kroil and PB Blaster....Good stuff....
