[a/s] Plumbing help!



This early "spring" has us in the Airstream getting ready for our first trip with the new red Excursion.  When I winterized I forgot to remove the water filter!  It froze and expanded out of shape so it's really stuck in the collar.  I hope to get it out after putting in on the bench in a vise, but can't figure out how to disconnect the gray plastic water lines.  The elbows and joints look to be joined with a crimped-on collars.  How do I take the plastic fittings apart - or should I just cut the plastic and reconnect with compression fittings? 
Thanks,
Chuck and Dar
