Corroded Washer Tap
#1
My hot water hose on the washing machine broke. I can not get the hose connection off of the faucet because it is fused together with rust. Every time I try to turn the hose connection off the pipe bends. I don't want to snap the pipe is there another way to get it off?

Hose that sucker down with WD-40 or Parts Break loosening fluid, then tap it a few times, wait a few minutes, hose it down with WD-40 again, tap it a few more times and try to turn it again. It sometimes helps to tighten a 1/4 turn then start loosening the piece. Hope that helps :-)
