How do I go about to removing and replacing the purge valve?Took one line off but the other one kinda stuck on there. Do I need to remove the purge from the bracket to replace?

If the line is fighting a little bit, I would remove the purge except for that line and then you will have more room to get it off.

I attached the process on how to remove and replace it. Let us know what happens and we can go from there. Thanks

If you press the release, gently wiggle the connector while turning 1/4 turns back and forth. It should come off.

Here are the directions for replacement. The attached pics correlate with the directions.

Let me know if it doesn't come off. Note there is a rubber o-ring in there that may have a bit of corrosion on it causing the problem.
