I was putting the the raw water pump, quick disconnect back together. The clip doesn't really seem to lock. Your thoughts?

Re: Raw water pump quick disconnect

Well, I figured out the problem. There are two guide pins on either side of the male connector, one is slightly longer then the other. And of course I have it flipped :(. Access is real tight for my old back and I don't want to take the pump back off. Any good tricks to freeing up the quick connect from the hose without breaking it?

I was able to spin it with some channel locks. Sometimes you just have to take a break and re-look at things.:)

Last one I did I ended up putting a slightly longer hose from pump to Q/C, made it MUCH easier to connect...and they will click when connected
