Just saw your reply at 14:00, yes the return lines are push fit.

However, you do need to be gentle with the removal. It is possible to be too rough getting them off and crack the fitting. Or if you are tempted to score the hose to remove it, that can put a scratch on the fitting that creates a leak. Best to grip the hose with a pair of needle nose pliers (put some electrical tape on the jaws so that there is no chance of scratching the fitting) then grip the hose and twist back and forth to break the bond.
