And your DIY was great (I know I already said this). Very informative and saved me tons of time. Much appreciated.

I will be doing this soon, so I am starting to read up. This connector sounds similar to the one on the vent pipe on back of the valve cover. I have big hands and am old so my hand strength is not what it once was. I struggled with it a while, got pissed off, walked away so I would not rip it off. and ended up using a small hose clamp, opened it up, put it around the connector, cranked it down, and the hose came right off.
Just wanted to add this for future DIY'ers, this works great especially in tight places.
