Okay - So, for anyone having issues with the "quick" disconnect fittings - here is the key to getting them to go back together smoothly - lubricant, lubricant, lubricant.
I used CLEAN 5w30 castrol that i use for my motor, any kind will do, and a silicone based lubricant is probably better, but the oil wont hurt.. dab your finger in it and wipe it around the inside of the female end (with the clip on it) and make sure you get the o-ring, you'll feel the o-ring. I believe that is what was getting hung up the worst.. apply to the male side as well, but most importantly is the female side, and utmost importantly, the o-ring inside of that female side..
After applying a generous few finger dabs to it, it went right back together with moderate force - you may need to position a flat head on one of the flat back edges or tabs. but i promise you, it will work and make your life 1000x easier.
