Got the call from a relative that they couldn't get the hoses to stop leaking from where it attaches to their newly bought and delivered washing machine.
Arrived to find that the cold connection had been really badly cross-threaded. No matter how I try to get the hose to go on straight, it won't because the male washer connection is plastic and the first few threads are mangled.
Suggestions?
I figure either I could get a die and try to repair what's there, but I'm not sure what they'd even be....3/4 X 14? 3/4 x 11.5?
Or do I try to cut off the first few threads and try again?
Thanks as always guys- I'm in a pickle over this one!
