The fitting coming off of the unit on the side has AN flare fitting and i want to run hose barbs. The fittings a elbow so i can't unscrew it with out it hitting the top half of the unit. What am i in for when i disasemble it? Any ideas other than cut off the AN and unscrew it...

The small lower part where the fitting goes is attached to the large saucer with 4 allen screws.You take apart the large saucer where you would normally change out the discs to get to them. If you take apart the lower part, you'll find a small silicon rubber membrane that looks a lot like the larger one. Under the silicon rubber membrane you'll find an aluminum disc that has to be centered between the 4 allen screws.
Technically, you aren't supposed to take any of that apart though. I've taken two apart but the small rubber membranes were already messed up.
