Default Norma connector again!

Hello; I can't remove leaking passenger side Norma Con. because the sleeve is frozen and has no plastic tab. Have sprayed it with WD 40 still stuck and it's a little cocked! so will have to cut it out with hacksaw........where should I cut it.
Also noticed that the rubber hose is much bigger than the 3/4 steel pipe; whats the simple solution to that problem.
It's my wife's 2000XK8 Conv. and wants to drive it (at 90 yrs old!).......so time is important!!
So we really need some advice please.............

Cheers, Adrian

Norma connector successfully replaced by 3/4" hose; it was really shot, big longitudinal crack.
Still can't understand why it would not come off the steel pipe without a hacksaw!
Wife very pleased but my arms and back of hands a mess because of blood thinners!
Thanks to forum for help (as usual).............

Cheers, Adrian
