They should be able to disassemble. Might be the spring inside has lost its sprong  .

I'll be sending you some with the pump 😉

Cheers armedcor that will be fantastic and thanks. It is just annoying is all. They look indestructible. I might try amd take apart later after work for the craic and see if i can see a spring missing or anything obvious.

Are they corny disconnects?
Steel?
Pinlock or Ball?
Where did you get them?

[DEMPSEY]

When taking apart you should find some tiny ball bearings so do it on a table and have a Tee towel on the table to catch anything that's falls off

[Laughgov]

So I took apart and put back together. All looks fine but still excessive play. Any ideas?

[DEMPSEY]

Maybe stretch the spring a little.

[Laughgov]

No joy with the stretching

Some of the tolerances on the Chinese ones are complete shite

Think its time to give up.  Its goosed
