Quick disconnect hose coupling stuck!!

[Dewey417]

Help! Was just checking out an older Mini Hammerhead and hooked it up to a BCD and now I can't get it off. Any suggestions on how to remove a stuck connection?

Thanks for your time folks

Start out with a nice long soak in warm water. While it is soaking verify that you can pull the LPI sleeve (collar) up OK but the connector will not let go. Did you have any trouble attaching it to begin with? And which connector is the problem? Hammerhead to inflator ot LPI hose connection to the hammerhead?

Got it off, thanks. Yes the sleeve would move. Apparently the ball bearings inside the hammerhead had gotton stiff or stuck. Enough pressure and it came off.
