It worked.

keep twisting as much as you can and see if it frees up, if not pull really hard and try pop the hose part off (cant make it any worse), then there should be a "nipple" exposed that was holding the hose on, take a 1/4 rachet (sp) 1/4 long extension, and a 7/32 socket.... pound the socket on the "nipple" and try loosening it.... this is what i did to mine when it got stuck haha although mine was in three parts so idk if that helped me or not
