if it's the civic just leave it and smash it into stuff then crush it... or just say fuck it and pay like all of $20 the head is worth and get a different one...

the hose is stuck on too... the tester I had is only 2 pieces afaik, The dial indicator comes off and the hose and threaded fitting are all in one piece.

keep twisting as much as you can and see if it frees up, if not pull really hard and try pop the hose part off (cant make it any worse), then there should be a "nipple" exposed that was holding the hose on, take a 1/4 rachet (sp) 1/4 long extension, and a 7/32 socket.... pound the socket on the "nipple" and try loosening it.... this is what i did to mine when it got stuck haha although mine was in three parts so idk if that helped me or not

I had this happen once...I JB welded the threads on the hose and just twisted it as hard as I could. It worked.
