Is this always a PITA or is there something wrong, I have two pumps and two hoses they are both the same.
The threaded portion moves around. Pull the threaded collar all the way out to the end of the hose as the center part may be bottoming out in the pump housing before the threads can start. Its a pain in the butt somedays, keep at it.
