How can I remove the old metal hose connection from this tap?

The hose fitting is jammed/rusted on and won't unscrew. I've tried WD40 and pliers but it won't  budge. Is this something a handyperson could fix or time to call a plumber and get a new tap? 
Thanks for tips!

Re: How can I remove the old metal hose connection from this tap?

Hi @Nickim1,

 

I believe replacing a garden tap would be in the realm of what a handyperson could do. You might like to check with your local council or building authority to find out. 

 

You'll need a pipe wrench or some locking pliers to get the fitting off. If it doesn't budge, you can replace the whole tap.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
