Removing steam wand tip
I can't unscrew the steam wand tip (factory, single hole) from my month-old Expobar Office Lever Plus. Does anyone have any recommendations?
I dipped it in hot water for 10min, and removed as much milk residue as possible.
I sprayed some WD-40 on it, and let it sit for 15min
Does anyone know if I should be unscrewing it clockwise or counter-clockwise?
Thanks

Doesn't the tip have a flat area on both sides? I used a crescent wrench on it, counterclockwise (if the tip is facing you with the wand behind it).
Try to put Puly Caff ( or something similar ) in the milk pitcher and take hot water from the machine, then put the wand in there for 5-10 minutes rinse, then it should come off.
i had to remove the steam arm, and put it in my friend's bench-mounted vise. With a good amount of force, I finally got the tip off
For anyone else that may come across the same difficulty:
Like matteo411 mentioned, you rotate it counter/anti-clockwise if the steam tip is pointed at you.
Thanks for your help.

If you are looking at the bottom of the tip, turn it in a counter-clockwise direction. Using rubber kitchen gloves (simple thin latex could be better) it should easily unscrew.Does anyone know if I should be unscrewing it clockwise or counter-clockwise?
