How do you get them apart? There is no plastic between ours.

I pried them apart with a dull paring knife. It's tricky, but it can be done.

Very easy. Just squeeze and slide the pieces apart. They work great, by the way.

Take the outer rubber portion off and use a small flat head screw driver to pry open the middle of the plastic where they meet.

Hi Nana. Stubborn little thing isn't it? When I first tried it, I thought " Wow! This thing ain't right!", but it's just made that way. I assume that's because the assembly has a slight spring pressure that keeps it from coming apart before you're ready. There are two small "nubs" on the shaft of the orange plastic assembly that prevent the thing from just coming apart. You need to exert a little more force and it comes right out. I wouldn't use pliers or a screwdriver...well maybe a screwdriver (extra vodka please !)... but not a mechanical device. I hope this helps you out. ( It seems to come out easier each consecutive time.) Have a great day. Tony

There's a hole in the side that's not for a button, take a screw driver or something and just gap it apart. the rest is just gently applying force until it separates. I haven't found a better way to do it.

Just gently pull on them and they come out easily. We have really enjoyed ours. Would highly recommend it.

The plastic pieces had clear tape holding them together as a unit when I received mine .. check for tape..again these pieces should come apart easy..use a little elbow grease..but careful not to cracked the peices..

You can but very carefully. Most times, i had to pry them apart bc they freeze together much easier than hard plastic trays do.

They aren't impossible to take apart again if you connect them gently. But it took awhile to put it together. You're probably better off with collapsible cubes.

It appears they can perhaps be pulled off; however, mine is assembled, so I'm not positive. They seem to be plastic though.

It is quite hard to take apart you have to pull very hard at the connections to figure out which ones actually fold down. We have marked ours with green tape now so we know which ones come apart. I have no other suggestions for you sorry.

I did not try to do this so I cannot really provide any specific direction. However, if I were attempting to do this the first step I would take would be to heat the current plastic fitting with a hair dryer and hope that this might (note....might, no assurance,) loosen the fittings up so I could twist them off with pliers.

if you have the new metal replacement part, you can disconnect the old plastic one by simply unthreading it completely off. Mine was broken off, but you should be able to get it off easily

Susanne if I remember right they just have to be firmly pulled straight out past the pieces that act as stops so they won't pull out once you have it assembled. It takes quite a bit of pulling pressure so don't be afraid to tug on them.

I do not know how yours works. Ours is a metal band and wing nut holding the two halves together. Shut off the water and empty out the line as best as you can then loosen the wing nut they should then be able to be separated. Hope this helps.

You simply twist it holding the top and bottom and it will separate in the middle. Sometimes it's a little tricky but there should be an arrow indicating which way to twist it.

I don't remember having any difficulty. I may have used a small rubber mallet and a wash cloth to get them together.
