Step 6

              Solution tubing removal
  • Locate end of clear rubber tubing and remove clamp with pliers. It is nearly impossible to get the hose end off of the hose barb, so I just cut the hose close to the barb, then gently scored the tubing left on the barb to get it off.

This is great thanks!  I got as far removing the clamps and was afraid to move forward, my replacement hose did not come with new clamps and I am worried I will break them.  This is my first time working with clamps.  I searched the internet and found your site.  This is wonderful, thank you very much.
