    Get some good dykes and cut them off. Be careful not to break the nipples. Also you will probably wan to get a good 90 degree pick and work it around the interior of the hoses breaking them away from the plastic nipples. Be patient and go slow.

    Wow I give help and you want to act like a 2 year old. Dykes are cutters like pliers but they cut. Nipples are the small little round things in and out of the n80 valve.

    But your welcome for the help a link so you can learn all about dykes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagonal_pliers

    by the way i'm not mormon, but thanks for the common assumption.

    Yes. you can get a pick and stick it and try and loosen them up, but since this is your first time chances are the nipples will bust and give you headache. Just use screw clamps. Hell you really don't need clamps.

    Also when you cut there is a mark on the clamp a little line cut with that line not against it. Trust me it will make cutting them a breeze.

    No worries about your previous post.
