brass ends on hoses

anyone know of a simple way of separating the (garden) hose from the brass ends...without burning it? it goes under dirty brass at my yard

Try a large pair of scissors. Cut as close to the brass as possible.

I do. That is what they consider dirty though.

I had a few brass fittings with aluminum that I couldn't undo. Ended up slicing through it with a cutoff wheel, then separating it. Might give that a try if you have a grinder and a cutoff wheel.
