with a spanner

I feel like a spanner now I tried to un screw if before and it wouldn't move so I put a screwdriver in the back and hit it with a hammer and broke it so I've only got one left to try it on

I believe the Rectus fitting uses a snap ring to hold the outer part in position.
If you slide back the outer fitting (like when U do when U want to disconnect it) you should see a metal open ended ring near the end of the connector (towards the end where you insert the connector, not towards the machine)
If oyu romevoe this you can slide of the outer part. But be careful, the balls are tiny.

Don't you just need to replace what looks like a little bit of rubber tube in those fittings?
I have some Dynacon dm3 fittings, which you used to be able to get repair kit's for.
The repair kit is basically two O rings and new balls, DM3 fittings you remove a ring which
lets all the locking balls out and then the fitting pulls apart.
