MSHardeman,
In answer to your first question. Yup ... it's happened to me (twice) & Yup ... it's a real beeeotch to get back on. I don't know what I did different the second time but it seems to be holding now (prolly just jinxed myself).
One alternative to Ldub's approach is to disconnect it at the Y and pull a cupla inches of tubing back towards the reservoir to give you some slack to work with. When done, just pull the slack back to the Y and connect.
If your nipple is too sensitive to the hose clamp thang, try a zip tie. You should be able to pull it tight enough for a firm grip without causing damage.

Put a smiley after you say that Bub.
if putting it on and blowing drying would shrink the hose enough to hold on. Its probably just stretched out
circmand, are you responding to MSHardeman or to PK?![]()
Thanks for the suggestions guys and thanks for looking out for my nipple. I may take dub's advice and just replace the whole mess of tubing because it does look discolored and is probably brittle in some places.
I guess after nine years of heat and weather your tube will get worn out and will need replacing.I'll make darn sure not to crush my nipple during the install. (this is really just going down hill FAST
)
