My extruder when attempting to push filament is also pushing the bowden tube out of the push-fit connector.
Video of the problem
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thank you!! almost done!

You'll need to replace the push-fit connector, they fail, and they can't be repaired.

Thanks. That's helpful. how do I know if it failed or not? Is there some way I can test that?
There is no "installation" right? You just stick the bowden tube up into the push-fit connector and it stays?
Or did I miss a step?

Crap, solved.
I just didnt push in the bowden tube far enough. I didnt realize I would hit resistance and have to keep pushing.
Sorry for the confusion!
