Craftsman Gas Power washer, hose is dry rotted;?

Question

I have a Craftsman Gas Power Washer 2250 psi, model number 580-768030, can anyone tell me the "special tool" used to disconnect the wand hose from the pump housing. My hose is dry rotted, need to replace, however, can't get the the connector disconnected from the pump housing.

Answer 1

Is it a quick connect connection? Where there is a brass sleeve that you pull back and the  connection pops apart.

It could have lime deposits making it stick. Try a pilers to wiggle it back and forth and spin the sleeve around.
