Thanks Foxbat - at last someone is taking my stiff balls seriously - looking forward to the easing it will bring (have just ordered some)
I use KY Jelly as a lube but just be aware it can dry on the post's after a week or so and make them even harder to get off
Never thought about the wording of that reply you deviants
Stiff harder blow up sheep lubricant balls i thought i was on a beer forum

OB I use Vaseline on the disconnect and it works a treat.
Just to clarify, the "Balls" which you are referring to are your "Posts" that are stiff.
Now to help identify further is it the left or right gas In or liquid OUT?
I only ask as the female for each has a different preference of fitting and may become very tight even to the point of getting stuck and locked in.

It is both posts - it is really hard to push both the in and out connectors on
I have 4 kegs and (I think) it is the same on all four which is what makes me think it is something to do little balls on the connector?
Once you've greased your ring you just need to lift the skirt so the balls withdraw and it'll slide right over.

I think you may be on to something there; cowboy hat, strange shaped balls. That explains John wayne's famous swagger.

We heard you the first time
Well just in case you asked any questions and then I missed, I thought it would give me another shot
Right let's see if we can get these balls loosened up a bit.
I've had one sitting about for the same reason and just assumed it was a duff but I must say this thread got the better of me.
Teardown.
On top of the disconnect rotate the slot anti clockwise keeping slight pressure to prevent the spring popping out with the inner valve.
Once removed inspect for damaged and build up from your luscious beer that will be very sticky.
I had build up in and around the spring as well.
As can be seen above the plunger has two o-rings which need to be removed and cleaned with the entire unit.A quick soak in hot water then dry and lube with your preferred choice of lube.
Check for build up in the spring as the can also be hop debris and again clean and lube.
Check the collar first by pulling/pushing back and forth then rotating as this will tell whether there is tight spots which I had and had caused the collar to stick in place.Run hot water from the tap over moving the collar back and forth and rotating until it moves more freely.
Using a very light machine oil or olive oil etc,raise the collar and place a few drops between the collar and stem and again rotate and move back and forth so as to get a good distribution .
After all have been cleaned and lubed rebuild and test.
I have also removed the ball bearings as can be seen below but of no value as the base is either glued or press fitted and does not come off unless forced.
I hope this may be of help to someone as it worked a treat on mine.
