I am trying to install a washing machine and the faucets are capped off. I can not turn the handles to shut the water off. Apparently the previous owners could not either, hence the capped pipes. I sprayed "liquid wrench" on the faucets, but that did not help. So far I have only been successful in breaking one of the handles off the faucet.

Many times we by pass the handles on a hose bib and just use an 8" wrench or vice grip on the spline or a Crescent wrench if the spindle is square shaped.

A hose bib cost about $3.00 possibly a replacement is in order huh?
