HP hose Swivel Spool

[TylerH]

The Spool between my gauge and HP hose got pushed in to far in the hose and i cant get a hold of it. Is the hose lost now or is there a way i can get it out. Im not concerned about damaging the swivel just want to salvage the hose.

Thanks

Pressurize it. COVER THE END WITH A RAG!!!!

what @fmerkel said is what I usually do. Pressurize SLOWLY it will usually shoot out. If not you can usually grab the spool with needle nose and get it out if your fingernails aren't strong enough

Just do not put your hand over the end or aim it at anything you care about, it is after all a bullet pressurized with potentially 3000 psi behind it.
