I think you unscrew the tube nut.. be careful and use a tube-nut wrench, and don't over tighten the nut on re-installation, if it gets damaged you'll have to replace the entire hose assembly.. there is a plastic or nylon type seal in there that is supposed to be replaced if you remove the line,,, easiest way to get it over the threads is stretch it out larger on a punch or something similiar, install it and it will shrink back down,
