Hi Tony, push the pin on the female part as it might just be sticking ? Or just change them to metal or brass ones from Hornig...it's a real pain when one of those plastic ones snap and you are far from home..DAMHIK

I couldn't re seat one of mine the other week after changing my ABS Brake fluid. Snapped the bloody male part. Thankfully had a metal replacement that fitted fine. I always smear a bit of silicone grease onto the o ring but still find they are sometimes difficult to put back together.

Push a small narrow screwdriver into the female connector to make sure nothing is stuck but be careful fuel will then piddle out

You normally only need to replace the male part of the connector. I think mine came from Motorworks for about £30
