i've tried "pushing the retainers" in but it doesnt go in far enough? hard to put a lot of pressure on them.

f--- them.

Just undo the hose clamps. That fitting is an engineering embarrassment.

yeah those things are a nightmare... I believe I was able to get them out using a couple of flathead screwdrivers, but it wasn't easy.
