I feel like I'm back in the classroom.
I'm off to Tractor Suppy...

As the terrifying saying in academic medicine goes; "see one, do one, teach one."

Pictures help greatly.

So you tried putting the male coupler in without the female being mounted?? This would be extremely difficult. I believe that the female side needs to be installed before you are going to be able to couple them. You are talking about this type of coupler, correct? :confused3:

Yup, that type. Parker 9006-001. Attempted with the females mounted in the bulkhead and the bulkhead clamped in the bench vise.

Well, something some where is wrong, because they sure are not intended to be difficult to use. If fact they should be relatively easy.

Maybe they just need to have the retainer balls coated with a good dose of hydraulic oil.

IAW the desires for pix, here's one NOT installed in the bulkhead.
