I am trying to replace the DEF reservoir/heater on my dad's 2011. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I can't figure out how to disconnect the pressure line from the pump. What am I missing to get the line to release from the nipple on the pump?

They just press in? I have messed with them a bunch without luck. Thanks for the reply.

Just be careful cause the nipple on the pump can break off fairly easily. But yes they press inwards.

Thanks guys. Got the line loose. Now I'm trying to remove the reservoir from the tank. I know that it has to turn before it pulls out, but I'm not having any luck getting it to turn. It is hard to get a hold of since it sits down in the tank. I cut the top loose to allow greater access, but still can't get enough torque on it. Any tips?

Pull the rubber seal out. Grab it by the little tit where the hose comes up and turn counter clockwise while holding the tank between your feet. It should pop loose fairly easily, maybe take about 20ft lbs to turn it, but nothing crazy.
