If you are referring to the connections that use a small retaining ring to keep the line in place.....you just pop off the plastic cover and then pry out the ring. It's open ended, you just have to find the end and pop it out. When you re-install the pipe, install the clip back into the retainer first and then just push the pipe into place.
