Okay, well, I went to borrow a tool from a my local parts place and I was doing a compressoin test and I hand tightened it not very tight at all; however, upon getting the number and then attempting to remove the tool, it is now simply just spinning.

Anybody have any ideas on how I can get this badboy out?

 

I imagine the little crimp connector on the end of hose is spinning on the thread-in. I would tear the hose from its mount and easy-out the rest of it.

 

Whew! That's a relief. Managed to get it out with a pair of curved needle nose pliers, some patience and determination...and an endless barrage of cursng and swearing!!

 

Now that it's out, spray it clean with brake cleaner and dry it.

A few wraps of electrical tape will keep it from spinning. Make sure the o-ring is greased as well.
