Unscrew the broken nozzle from the coupling that is attached to the hose.
There will be a plastic washer at the end of the hose, take it off. Then you should see a metal ring (called a clip ring) in a groove near the end of the hose. Pry it off with a screwdriver. You may need to cuss a little to accomplish this. The old coupling should then slide right off. Put the new coupling on and put the new clip ring (which is a tiny piece of metal shaped like a C) on where the old one was. You might need to use pliers to squeeze it on there, and also, cussing may help.* While we were in Lowes, Delia wondered aloud if they sold lemon trees. I bet her a dollar that they didn't, and we asked a bored looking girl in the greenhouse. Sure enough, they DO sell lemon trees. But the lemon trees were looking pretty sad, so Delia picked out a lime tree instead. As we were walking to the car, she said, "You owe me a Dollar." I said "I bought you the Lime tree, it cost $5 so you owe me $4!" She didn't give me any money, because evidently, I am a sucker.

Cussin' always helps. And if you don't hit too hard, a smack with a hammer on SOMETHING helps, too.
Ohh boy, I am too strong to go hitting things with a hammer to release my frustrations. :)
I was jumping up and down trying to squeeze that little tiny ring on the end of the hose, and it was Keith who thought of using the pliers. He's smart.
I want a lime tree! Maybe I should go to Lowe's this weekend.... How tall is it?
It's not much of a tree actually, it is about 8 inches tall and has about 14 leaves. But it does come with a money back guarantee!
My kitchen sink faucet is leaking. Well, more like it is spraying water all over me occasionally, intermittently. Think it needs a new washer somewhere in its innards.
Maybe I'll go to Lowe's after work tonight. I have pliers!
nd, maybe I know where they are.
Oh Dear.
