Help with replacing faucet

I am trying to replace my kitchen faucet in my 2020 T@B 320 BD. I ordered this faucet based on a T@Bber post I cannot find. I am having trouble removing the existing faucet. Does anyone know what type of tool I need to remove the existing tubing or do I just cut it off?off?

    Although I have a 2018 400, your picture looks a lot like the Dometic faucet I broke when I replaced the original round bathroom 400 sink with the modified better draining, square one.  The metal clamps are ½” Sharkbite stainless PEX clamps you can buy at HD or Lowes.  You need a special tool to secure them.  They also have a special tool to remove them however check out Youtube.  Sharkbite tools are not cheap.

    I removed the Sharkbite clamps with a bolt cutter but the supply lines seemed permanently “welded” to the plastic barbed outlet on the faucet. You might want to try a heat gun to soften the supply line where it is currently attached when you remove or reinsert it.  It may make it easier. You can probably use any suitable clamp.

    Good luck.

    If the two stems are plastic, you may be able to use brute force & just break them off using a pair of vice grips or pliers to hold it, and maybe score them first with a small hack saw or file.

    I had the same issue today of not having a shark bite tool, so I just cut them with a hack saw blade and pulled the faucet off.  The new faucet was easy to install.
