The FSM calls the metal bit of the manifold + the high pressure hose the "manifold" - so that's all removed as an assembly (There's a few other clamps you need to remove in order from the hose to come out). In my case, I'm not going to be reusing the manifold since I'm switching to a Sanden, however I will be rebuilding some of the suction hoses by cutting off the ferule and crimping in new barrier hose. Hopefully I'll be getting to that this weekend, and I plan to write up a DIY on the job.

Edit: the suction side hose is connected with a fitting that's buried underneath the cruise control actuator. It's not in a very easy place to get tools and leverage for, fortunately mine was not excessively tight
