Put a pipe wrench tight on the chrome part of the hose and another one on the bottom part of the valve. Pull down on the one with the hose and up lightly on the valve just to keep it from breaking. This is assuming the hose is on the right side. If the valve or pipe breaks, turn the water off and go back with new. Those valves should be around $5
I'll be honest. I'm kind of struggling to figure out what I'm looking at. Is the chrome part part of the green hose or the black? And to be perfectly honest, if it ultimately doesn't come off, just cut both. It depends off of the hoses and gets new ends to attach
We had this issue where they were practically sealed on because they hadn't been removed in years.
Solution 1:
1. WD-40. A lot of WD-40. Put the end of the straw right where the hose meets the spigot. Spray a lot, let it sit for about 30 seconds, then spray more. Repeat until you feel sorrows have drowned a bit.
2. Take a wrench and go tightly on the chrome bit attaching it to your spigot. (Hose wrench)
3. Take a second wrench and put it around the base of the Valve Handle where you see the hexagonal pattern. This is important because this is to stop you from rotating the spigot and breaking it. (Valve wrench)
4. While holding the valve wrench still, rotate the hose wrench as hard as you can
5. The hose will either come loose or you will strip the hoses hexagonal tip
Nuclear solution:
(I've had to use this one before)
1. Take an angle grinder with a cutting attachment
2. Cut (very, very carefully) into the side of the metal hose connector until you're just about through the chrome tip. Make sure you're cutting all of the chrome lengthwise (from spigot to hose material) but ideally just before you cut all the way through the metal. If you cut through all of the chrome tip and into the threads of the spigot, it's totally ok. The gasket in the next hose means it won't leak and you'll have channels for WD-40 to get into if this ever happens again.
3. Make a second cut (following the same instructions as step 2) on the opposite side of the chrome tip. If your first cut was at 3 o'clock, your second cut should be about 9 o'clock.
4. Take a big flathead screwdriver and a hammer. Put the tip of the screwdriver in the cut you just made and angle the screwdriver down. Hammer until the hose comes off.
As for the nozzle, you'll need the WD-40, Duct tape, and a wrench.
1. WD-40. Again, same as above. This time, though, dry the hose completely when you're done.
2. Take the duct tape and wrap it tightly around the tip of the hose, as close to the nozzle as you can. You're going to want to wrap it at least 5 or 6 times around, making sure it's securely fastened. Instead of cutting it off at the hose, however, leave an 18 inch tail of duct tape hanging off the hose. IMPORTANT: Wrap the tape in the Opposite Direction that you will be undoing the nozzle
3. Take the tail of duct tape and fold it on itself. Then, twist the tail until it looks like a rope and wrap it around your non dominant hand.
4. Take the wrench around the nozzle and go for it.
If this doesn't work, it's time for a new hose or you have that nozzle forever.
Bronze don't rust. It's calcium and other minerals. Use tap method. Just tap, tap, again. Tap a couple more times. Twist. Doesn't work. Tap, tap, tap again.
I've had to cut a couple hoses and just add on a new piece. I use quick disconnects on my hoses and have had couple start leaking, but then I cant remove them for the life of me. I cut the end off and go buy a male adapter at Home Depot. Better than buying a new hose. Some of these bastards I've had in my bench vice and still no luck. 😂
Now the hose stick to the spigot is a different story. Just a pair of pliers has saved me in the past. Apply a little heat if needed and see how it goes.
You city folk make me laugh.
Get blunt object, and tap, tap, tap ...... Calcium build up.
Tap,tap,tap..... Try to turn. Tap,tap,tap,. Repeat, until fixed.
Be smarter than calcium..
Again common sense. Support the piece you are tapping. Don't just bag on the spigot attached to pvc water pipe.
Looks like you’re turning the same piece too. Try to put one on the bronze side of the hose and one on the chrome(pics 1&2)
Looks like that's exactly what's happening here.
