Stuck Quick Release?

Kind of embarrassed to ask but I did search. The nozzle got stuck on my wand quick release. I pulled off the complete qr but can’t seem to get the male and female apart. I am guessing the oring is out if place? Thanks!

The steel balls creates divots in the fittings that swells the male end. Happens a lot more with pressure trapped unloader. if you beat it out and file it down you can sometimes use them again. It’s really better to just replace the male fitting or the whole thing

use pliers if pressure is trapped,
Unscrew slowly, wear PPE, on the end of the wand.
since there is less water trapped there.

Honestly not sure exactly what that is. Looks like a strange female qc?

use them on both ends, that way I can release them easier

I smack em with a crescent and then change them out when I get a chance

Sounds like it’s time to trash the QC. Thank you.
