It's a real bear to get at the "D" ring capture rings and sometimes those hoses don't want to be pulled.
My arms were too short to reach up into the top of the diff hump and get at everything.
Use long reach pliers or fashion a hook to pull the "D" ring wires.
Once the rings are out, if the hoses don't come loose, try twisting them to break them free.
To reattach the hoses, you may need to reshape the rings so they are tight, before pushing the hoses on.
Replace O-rings with new Viton ones and pre-lube the connectors before reconnecting.
