Alistair has it right. I just took mine out a few weeks ago. It's mostly easy, but those propane lines can be a real PITA. I'm not even sure if I trust mine anymore because I had to bend them to get it out. And as far as the sink drain line...I just ended up cutting it and getting a new one...it was too much trouble to try to be careful with it. Good luck!
