Rhino Sewer Hose

[herbert007]

Maybe I am getting old but have trouble detaching the hoses. Can you spray with WD40 or something to make it easier. Thx for your help

Ken56.. Yup Well that same wrench is used with the Remco Axle Lock when I had on my original towed so I carted one around for 14 years before another thread either here or on Facebook got me to think and Well... Face Palm time. IT was an obvious fit and it works great.

IMO, a product like Pledge does a better job of lubricating plastic fittings.

Hey, I have one of those filter wrenches and never thought of it myself. I just picked up the Rhino wrenches too because of the same difficulty. I use white lithium grease on connections too but still find it hard to twist them apart. I hope the orange wrenches work but I am throwing in the filter wrench too.

I have a couple of those I'd like to give away.. but only to someone close.

What I use is a slip joint oil filter wrench I found it works great. you can get a couple different sizes (The difference is the length of the handle) Don't think it matters which but man does it work well.

the link below is E-Bay so it might not last long. teh GOOGLE search was "Slip joint oil filter pliers" if the link below is expiered

like these

What ticks me off about this is it took me 14 years to figure out that those pliers were a perfect fit... And I carried one with me EVERY DAY for 14 years and did not use it.

WD 40 BRAND also makes an excellent Silicone Water Resistant spray and a White Lithium Grease spray. I use them both in the appropriate applications.

They seem to work better and last longer than other brands that I have tried,around here it seems Home Depot has them in stock and at the best prices.

Spray something with WD-40, then let it sit for a couple of months. It will get VERY tacky and sticky. Never use WD-40 for lubricating. It may work right then, but down the line, it makes the problem worse.

For a penetrating lubricant, get PB-Blaster. For lubrication, get a silicone spray (and one IS sold under the WD-40 name), or a light oil.

WD-40 isn't actually a true lubricant. WD stands for "water displacing" and its main use is as a solvent or rust dissolver.

The lubricant-like properties of WD-40 come not from the substance itself, but from dissolving components. And the effect doesn't last.

WD-40 can be a good substance to start with — it can help clean up rust or other grime. But depending on what you're working with, you should probably follow up WD-40 with use of a true lubricant such as one based on silicone, grease, Teflon, or graphite.

WD40 also makes a silicon based spray, which I use on my convertible hinges, available at either Home Depot or Lowes.

Never, never, never use WD40 for anything but trying to loosen rusted threaded pieces. Silicone and WD40 should not be in the same sentence! Ooops, I just violated that rule.

I like the Super Lube Synthetic Grease.

Thx for the input. I ordered the wrenches off Amazon.ca and will try either WD40 or silicone spray as well. Old age sucks but I am glad there are solutions!

Silicone spray or WD 40 would likely make it easier to uncouple the connections and not harm anything.

Maybe a bit of plumber's grease.
