Default Changing the dv

Changing my dv right now, but I cant get the hose off. I thought this was suppose to be a 30 minute process. Any ideas on how to get it off.

Default there is one screw-type clamp, and two one-time-use clamps (aka oetiker clamps)

for the oetiker clamps, use a flathead and fit it into the little "square" and twist to get the clamp loosened. after that you should be able to get the hose off, if not go back to the flathead and twist and pry some more till you loosen it more. it will come off, trust me. i just changed my DV yesterday.
