To be fair it wasn't a regular wrench, I don't know how you call it in the U.S. (english isn't my main lenguage) but it's a red colored adjustable wrench, commonly used in plumbing. It was my fault anyway.

It came out in one piece, slightly bent but complete.

I sure hope the pipe-wrench wasn't involved in the blower install...

For future reference the wrench you are referring to is called a pipe wrench in english if it looked like this

if its not damaged then use some green loctite and tap it back in, or you can remove the nose drive and send it to me....I will press in a new fitting (after we verify I have one like it).

Last choice, drill it out and tap it for a barbed fitting.

Thanks, I'll try the loctite first, I'll have to cut around 1/4" of the tube as it's slightly bent but hopefully it will work. NPT fitting if the loctite doesn't work out. Thanks for the offer but I'm ouside the U.S.

Instead of cutting it I'd try to tap something with a gentle taper into the bent end (a punch comes to mind) and try to make the end round again. between that and gently squeezing the straight section (not the flare) in a vise you could probably get it to fit snugly again with some Loctite or epoxy to complete the seal.

If the part still hits the hole. Just put some sealant on it and tap it back in. If it's bent a little it will still seal once it meets up to the stopping ledge.
If the bend us on the vacuum hose side it would have be bent pretty bad not to usE it. Lots of ideas should be no problem to fix.
