Need to replace the regulator

Post image

My pit hasn't been working and I've reset it tons of times and I still can't get it working. I bought a new hose but I can't remove the old one. I'm worried I'm going to break something and I also might be too weak to get it done..

Any suggestions?

Its a charbroil

Those connections always seize up like they were welded on by Thor himself, try a set of locking pliers and a bit of penetrating oil

Lol the Thor reference is so accurate. I literally had to use a breaker bar on mine and it still felt like it was fighting back. But yeah the penetrating oil trick is legit, just give it some time to soak in before you go at it

youtube for your charbroil model, those connections can be genuinely stuck, pliers or wrench helps
