That’s exactly how I removed mine as well. I sprayed a little CRC Knock’r Loose penetrating oil on it & let it do it’s thing for about 10 minutes before attempting to turn it because it’s really on the spigot tight. Like others said, use another pair of Channel Locks or Vice Grips to hold the spigot in place while removing the backflow to prevent damage to the plumbing.
Remember! Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey! 😎
