Trying to disconnect my propane regulator. Nothing moving. What should I be trying to move? In which direction?

Honestly, as old as that looks, I’d be replacing the regulator amd the hose. The part doesn’t cost that much.

Burnbabyburnnn:

PD blaster is better than WD40 for things like this. If you have WD40 try it. Soak it. Leave for 10 minutes and soak again. Then try.

RamblerUsa:

Right tight, left loose.

You should be liberal with WD-40 before trying again

skynard0:

Wd40

David_Buzzard:

I’d have a good look at that hose, somebody wrapped it in tape for a reason.

Give it a really good going over with a wire brush so that the metal and threads are exposed. Get some PB Blaster (NOT WD-40) and give it really good soaking. Then tap it gently with a hammer for a minute, then give it another good shot of PB Blaster. Go off for a long coffee break and try it again. The fitting on the bottom looks likes part of the regulator, and the top is the hose fitting. You want a proper fitting wrench on both fittings.

Counter clockwise to loosen.

memeslfndaye:

Quite possibly left hand thread, try tightening it instead.
