Wipe excess lubricant from hose and ferrule. Bring
hose with stem and ferrule back through die bed.
Loosen the bolt(s) on the tie down bar(s) and move
the tie down bar(s) so that they clear one die bed
spacer. Tighten any bolt just loosened. Remove the
die bed spacer one half at a time. Repeat this
process for each die bed spacer to be removed.
Remove only enough die bed spacers to allow the
flange to pass through.

Position a rubber sheet or pad under the die bed.
Slowly slide the hose towards the pusher. When the
die clears the die holder, one or both halves may fall
to the floor. If one half remains on the ferrule, tap it
with a mallet until it releases. If both halves remain
on the ferrule, it may require the halves be pried
apart at the seam.
