Here is a posting that I copied off of another message board where I learned how to do it. This is easier do do than explain. You need to find a long skinny punch. You may have to make one up. You just place the punch in the hose end of the connector and tap out the brass/bronze innerds,for each side. There will be a plunger/stopper, a spring and a bushing w/o-ring. Replace o-rings,dab a small amount of gasket goo on the bushing and reasemble. A lot of the Pros. have a little jig (speical tool)for this job. It holds the connector and catches the innerds. I made one up with a small block of wood. You may want to use a socket or somthing simular during disassembly to catch the parts. You will also need the right o-rings. I have tried several differnt places to get them, but have yet to find ones that will work. So you may need to find an OMC dealer to get the O-rings. Get some spares while your at it. My expirence has been that this connector is one of the main reasons folks have problems with motors of this era ( all motors in fact). How many times do you see guys carring their fuel can up the dock or beach dragging the hose behind them? Or disconnect the hose and drop it in the bilge. Make sure the male end (motor end)is in good shape also (no burrs). A good working tank and hose is worth more nowdays than the motors they run. As I can't see your stuff its hard for me to say, but you might consider just over hauling the whole fuel system, tank and all.
