Hello! So the quick disconnect coupler for my auxiliary hydraulic thumb became disconnected while moving an old log. I am unable to reconnect it. I went through the motions to relieve the pressure on the excavator (334). The thumb cylinder is completely extended, the retract side is the one that became disconnected. Removed the coupler on the thumb side but no pressure in the cylinder, or fluid???? Do I just need to push harder? TIA JackinVT

It could be that the coupler is damaged internally. Have you tried removing both halves and seeing if they will connect on the bench?
