Just wanted to say thanks. I followed your instructions and the hose was able to be removed from the elbow with little effort. Additionally, the hose didn’t show any signs of cracking or dryness, so I just swapped out the elbow.
Thanks again for you assistance on this one and thank you to all who contributed some wisdom regarding the topic.
