I used my Lux 1205 today and for some reason now the hose is stuck in the vacuum. This is my best electric hose and I used it on my other Lux canisters, can anyone tell me how to get it unstuck?
 
This happened....

to me last week on a GW find. I fiddled with it, pressing both tabs fully until it popped out. What I had planned, and you can try, is to open a channellock pliers to the widest setting in order to press both tabs with one hand and wiggle the hose with the other hand. Then inspect both the opening and the hose end for damage.
 
I sprayed some PB Blaster into the two openings and let it sit for awhile, and if finally came out. It's never done that in the two years I've had the hose.
