Peter,
I removed mine with a pair of needle nose pliers. The fittings were
loose enough. Just open the pliers and stick the tips in the holes and
twist the handles.
But I always wondered it I got the pieces tight enough on reassembly. I
tapped the holes tangentially with a drift to set them tight. Seems to
have worked. At least for 30,000 miles.
