Shower Hose Removal both ends

[jsm]

Hi

Trying to remove a shower hose as it leaking at both ends, but it's not unscrewing!! Used a spanner and pliers to no avail :-(

Any ideas???

Thanks

You are undoing the connections and not trying to turn the braiding / hose part ?

It the part which the hose went into that I was trying unsuccessfully to unscrew.

Can you upload a picture of the part ?

When you say 'not unscrewing', do you mean turning round and round and not coming off, or do you mean you cannot turn it. If the latter, you should be gripping the part nearest the valve to undo that end, and the part nearest the hand shower for the other end. Do you have something to provide significant friction, such as rubber gloves, or at worst gas pliers/ slip joint pliers. You need a good grip and some force!
The rubber washers inside are perhaps not thick enough to seal (maybe that's why it's on so tight!), so add an additional washer each end to stop the leak.

Grip the part with the black ring around it should undo
