Cooker disconnecting

[lmhud]

hi guys. I need my cooker taking out, it all ready except for the gas but I don’t know if it’s a push fit or not. Looks like it is but doesn’t seem to move.
Obviously I don’t want to force it so can anyone tell from the photo and will it require a gas fitter.
Thanks

Looks like a bayonet - turn isolator off already done in the pic), thrust, turn, withdraw

I try that but can’t gat it to even twist.

yes that is a bayonet connection, push fit is a completely different thing, that is designed to be disconnected by customers no need to be a gas fitter as you call it

You'll need to push the bottom part up quite hard- it should move 5mm or so- before it will turn.

Or even thrust. But maybe I’m being over cautious.

Can’t get it to move, definitely won’t push in . Is it just seized

 

[lmhud]

Definitely can’t push this in. Do they seize up ? Can I use wd40

Definitely can’t push this in.

it is the knurled brass ring you're pushing upward, then turning, isn't it?

Thank you all. Advice was spot on it was just seized, a pair of grips on the bottom and a couple of hard twists and out it popped.
Appreciate your help

If your leaving it like that, you may want to spray with gas leak detection fluid to make sure it’s sealed sealed correctly. Also that cable looks close
