I unlocked and was able to pull of the hoses at the top and middle of the reservoir. I unlocked the bottom hose, but can not pull the reservoir up which would release it from the bottom connection/hose. It's almost like there's a vacuum. There's little (almost no) room to wiggle the reservoir and work it out.

Make sense?

Once all the screws are out it is just a matter of popping the expansion tank up out of the O-ring that is holding it. I usually use the core support and lever it up till it releases, go ahead and use a bit of force cause that's what it's going to take.
