What happens here

Obtain a new rubber washer. These are inexpensive and often sold in packs of ten for a couple of dollars. If the old washer is still present in the hose connector, use a flat-head screwdriver or a multi-tool (like a Leatherman) to pry it out. Sometimes, especially with older, brittle washers, it might come out in pieces. It's crucial to remove all fragments of the old washer to ensure a perfect seal with the new one.

Goal: Remove the old, damaged washer from the hose connector.
