Sorry I have a quick release coupling at the end of my lance when I was working with the turbo nozzle it was leaking so I guess I need a new coupling. Where is best to buy one as need it for Saturday.

Remove the coupling and screw the turbo straight onto the tube 1/4"bsp

You might need to put the lance in a vice or use one of these, a pipe wrench;

Whip off the female quick release and take off the male quick release from the turbo nozzle.

Get some PTFE tape and tape the thread on the end of lance and nip up the turbo hand tight, you don't need to nip up with a spanner;
