Yeah, but what if the nozzle is really stuck not kind of, sort of ... girly stuck as in your video?? I put the end of my hose into a bench vise and then used vice grips as tight as possible in the nozzle and it won't budge. I remove a little metal with the vice grips but that's about it. Sprayed plenty of WD-40 and still no luck.
Nope! Tried hot water, WD 40, all sorts of pliers. Still stuck. Video looks to be brass on brass fitting. Nozzle is aluminum. Probably oxidized. Any other suggestions?
This method CRACKED my nozzle. Anyone know what will LOOSEN the nozzle? I tried WD/40 and Silicon Spray but no help. FYI- In the future, use Plumbers Tape. That tip from Apex Hose company.
I am a single woman, I could not get my old nozzle off the g hose, I worked on it for like 30 mins did not have the proper tools, HOWEVER, COME TO FIND out I was twisting the wrong way. I did c c wise and it came right off...THANKS SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO SAVED ME $65 from buting another g hose.
Thanks a million!!!! It worked!!! I had tried that before googling but I didn’t realize that channel locks are adjustable! Haha. Learned something new. I had to adjust the channel locks a few times but then it came right off. Thanks again for making my day a whole lot easier! 🙌😊 Have a great day!
My shit is SUPER stuck! I was already using the same method demonstrated on this video before watching it, and no amount of lube, sweat, profanities or ball strength worked. (They said lift with your legs. Not your back, but what they don't tell you is the purest form of man strength comes from your balls!) 😄 and I put all of my balls into trying to remove this piece of shit! 😒💨 Fml! The only thing I've accomplished is twisting to the point the metal gives and rounds. I think I'm going to try letting it sit in a bucket with warm water and CLR. If that doesn't work. I guess I have no choice other than to cut the end of my hose off and replace the fitting. Which is pretty cheap like 5 or 6 dollars maybe 10 max. Good video tho.
I'm hear to tell you that this doesn't always work. I have a spray nozzle that refuses to budge. Applied WD40, used the wrenches ... nothing. It's almost like the two are now fused together. And the nozzle was only on for a few months.
It worked! First tried WD40, then channel lock and pliers. Nope. More WD40, then half a pot of hot water, then half a pot of ice water. Still took a bit of struggle but it came off! Thanks!!
Thank you! Great explanation and simple, clear instructions. The spray nozzle grip had broken apart on the garden hose. I couldn't remove it using one pair of channel pliers. Using your steps I was able to remove it and install the replacement nozzle.
I know, looks clockwise but is counter. Right tight. Left loose. It depends if you are looking into the hose. It's counter clockwise. If you are looking from the side and hose is facing away. It would look clockwise. It confused me too.
Welp. After a little cussing and a few prayers to the garden gnomes, i got that nozzle off. I can NOT believe how tight it had gottrn after only around 6 weeks max on the hose. For me this technique worked, and I'm now the proud owner of a functioning sprinkler for the garden.
Thanks, but you could add an example of when someone put the nozzle on “crooked” -if that makes sense. But I’m sure your explanation will do the trick.
