Heat up some water, put it in a cup and soak the connector/hose. It will pull right out. You will then be able to insert the quick disconnect.
At the end of the dive day I run some Steramine through the hose and then some air.

Remove the black plastic part that is on the hose, letting it soak in hot water should soften the hose and make removal easier. While it warm push the QD part into the hose, there will be some residual liquid when you disconnect but a few squeezes of the bulb end will take care of most of it. I just flush with water but I will remove the valve a few times per year and clean in some bleach water.

1 - If you have the hose to spare, cutting it is a lot easier that getting that barbed fitting out.
2 - Open the valve and hold your junk down while pulling the catheter off the fitting and the "splash will be very minimal, if at all. Squeeze yourself and the catheter to force the urine out while doing it.
3 - I have a squeeze bottle of 50% vinegar and 50% water that I flush the hose and valve out with after removal but before closing the valve.

I find the Wideband extremely hard to remove. I tried the hot shower thing and it didn’t help. I have to use a non-stinging adhesive remover. But even with that, it’s an unpleasant chore. I think the prep wipes do their job almost too well in enhancing adhesion. I’m going to try a test run without the prep.
