NGC - help with hydraulic hose connection

[brider]

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.

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.
