Replacing shower hose (cracked) and showerhead holder (also cracked) - the hose is easy enough obviously but how do I loosen the clam-shaped ends (either end) to allow me to release the bar and replace the showerhead holder by sliding off the old one and sliding on the new ? I don't want to force the ends for fear of cracking them and I'm sure there's a simple solution or knack to doing it - appreciate any assistance......thanks.

We have just had to do the same job and my husband was worried about the same thing as you are as they aren't very robust are they.
However, he pulled the top clamp gently toward him and it released itself very easily. Our shower is the Triton rapide 4 but i think the general make up is the same.
