Disassemble Hose Grip and Internal Components

What happens here

With the nozzle head removed, attention turns to separating the flexible hose from its rigid plastic grip, which is glued in place. Using a flathead screwdriver and wearing Mechanix gloves for protection, carefully pry apart the connection point where the flexible hose meets the rigid grip. This action is done by inserting the screwdriver into the seam and gently twisting and prying. Once the connection starts to give, work around both sides where the tabs are located. After detaching the main hose, remove the spray button assembly from the handle by popping off the button and lifting the internal components. This provides better access to the internal fluid tube and the hose connection.

Goal: Detach the hose from the rigid plastic grip and remove internal components for full access.
