In the image above, where is the slip-connection that allows the hose from the right to be tightened without winding up the hose? The hose has had a preloaded-twist in it since I bought this woodsplitter new over 10 yrs ago, I wince every time I look at it but it has never failed. So now that I'd like to remove it and have a new one made locally without just cutting it, my first thought was that the nut on the end of the hose just past the swaged collar was a slip-connection, but a quick turn with a wrench shows it to be a fixed nut (to the hose, that is).
Is the "slip" on the 45-deg fitting itself, between the nut on the hose-side and the 45-deg body?

Yes. One wrench on the hose end and another wrench on the 45 Swivel that is internally threaded. 9/16 and 5/8 looks like.

+1 on what RR just posted. However since you are going to replace the hose anyway you could take a hacksaw to it and then remove the fittings.

Yes drown it in penetrating oil of you chioce it looks to be full of crap.

Excellent! Thanks for the confirmation, guys. I'd cut it, but I kinda wanted to bring a 1-piece hose assembly to the shop to duplicate it.
