I am trying to replace my kitchen faucet, but I am unable to disconnect the sprayer hose from the copper pipe!  The connection is a smooth cylinder rather than a nut, so regular & basin wrenches just slip around.  I have tried putting WD-40 on the connection as well as gentle hammering to try to loosen it, but it won't budge!  What am I missing here?

The connection should be a small hex nut.  The smooth cylinder is part of the hose assembly.  Look up a little bit further.  A small open end wrench or adjustable wrench should do it for you.  Small is the key word here.

Hi All... Hey NAN... if you are replacing the faucet.. I have to assume you are replacing the sprayer as well... yes?  You should just be able to cut the old hose with a knife and be done with it.  Just another thought, that's all.  Take care.
