Can hyd. hose fittings become super tight over time? I had to remove the 6 hoses from my backhoe valve that go down the boom and they all needed a snipe to get loose. One almost didn't come loose and started to distort the nut. I've had the hoses off before and put them on snug using the proper size wrench but certainly didn't reef them as tight as possible. What would cause them to be so tight to remove?
