Aqualisa shower removal

[maximilon]

Hi all, help!

I am trying to remove an Aqualisa Aquastream powershower so i can have my bathroom re-plastered, the pipes are rear entry and fit into some kind of push fit connector, dose anybody have info on how to remove the pipes from these connectors? Its an older model but parts are still available, i have found reference in a pdf on the aqualisa website

"Should it be necessary to remove the unit from the wall at any time, pipe release tools are located in the inside of the front cover. These should be inserted into the locking collets and depressed as the pipes are withdrawn.

Unfortuatley this is a newer model to mine and i have no tools inside the cover or is there any indication where to use them

Thanks

A good photo would be a step in the right direction.

The pipes go into (17) on the attached image if that helps.

From a bit of research i think you have to depress a collet on the reverse, but not sure how to do it, going to try some wire shortly, but all ideas are welcome.

Thanks
