A while back I acquired a Lux model E (US) cleaner, something that is very rare in this side of the pond. Sadly there is a problem with the hose.
Is there anyway that this can be removed from the coupling, the bad section removed, and re-connected. It would cost way more than the machine is worth to buy and import a hose from the USA. One of the wands is also rusted (apparently) into the combination floor nozzle. Any ideas of getting this out too? Thanks Al |

I have had good luck with either WD-40, or a good penetrating oil. Soak the connection, and then with enough wiggling it should come apart. |
