Precisely how to remove the 2 hoses. They don't seem to be simple quick connects. Do you sell parts ?

These are actually much easier. You push up on the tabs on the bottom and then use a small screw driver to either remove the white clip or pop it out far enough to remove the line.

If you look at this attachment, you want to push the clip up on both ends of the white clip. Then you will see the clip will pop up at number 2 and you just put a small flat head under there and pry it up gently. Once you get it started, you will see how it comes out. Save the white clip because they are reusable.
