dave is right.  you might find it easier to disconnect the hose at the
WGFV end instead of the WG end.  at the WGFV end, there's a small clamp
that can be removed with a screwdriver.  you might want to plug the
WGFV port (i attached a small piece of hose and clamped it shut) to
prevent air leaks, but maybe it doesn't matter for this test.
