Petroleum base ANYTHING is detrimental to ANY natural rubber product.
The heat will just speed up the process.
If you're REAL CAREFUL & it's the old hose, you can use a big pair of
channel locks and twist them off. Key words are REAL CAREFUL.
Your old timer probably mentioned this so when the hose rotted out
later he'd have a "comeback" & another repair to do.

A old time garage mechanic told me his tip was to use Petroleum Jelly.
