My original hoses are old, hard and brittle. When I tried to remove one, it was stuck to the valve that it was connected to and I broke the valve. Anyone know a good way of unsticking them? maybe a nice solvent or something?
Thanks,

Hot water.
A really really sharp knife / stanley blade and slice them off.

Yeah, tried that and started slicing through the parts I was keeping! Cheers though.

You need to be a bit more careful then lol !! I did mine this way and had no problems :)
I used my sisters hairdryer on the hottest setting, to warm them up, then they just twist off easy.

Cunning! Now I just need a really, really long extension lead! Cheers guys!
I cut the hoses length way on the connector then twisted them to break the bond they poped striaght off. :Laugh was quite suprised to do the whole nest job without a break.
a used long nosed pilers but kinda rushed it and broke a few solinods, more of a pain finding new 1s take ur time well worth it...
