[Psml] Aluminum Hose Barb Question

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

Insert large pliers (to fit) into the tubing/hose then

OPEN the handles which will spread the jaws and

the tubing.  It may take some real strength to do

it if your hose/tubing is large and tough.  You can

possibly aid the process by heating up the hose

with a hair dryer.
