Auto parts sells a kit with different size plastic disconnects. You might consider cutting it off and just using a hose clamp. Makes taking the radiator out much faster in the future. I hate those quick disconnects, because they NEVER are! I'm probably just not experienced enough or I don't have the right tools.
Mine look like these;

You better post a picture, cause I don't know what you are talking about. There is a large brass nut that the line goes into. That large brass nut spins why the metal line stays still.
