Re: How do I remove the spray hose from the brass...
Hi, On the side of the brass there should be a clip or a pin that you can pop off... a knife or screw driver will work to snap it out of there... then the hose will just pull down out of the fitting...

Turn off the water supply valves beneath the kitchen sink. Turn on the faucet and squeeze the trigger on the sprayer to empty any water left in the supply lines, faucet and sprayer.
Trace the sprayer hose from the end of the sprayer to where it connects to the faucet. Use pliers to loosen the connector holding the sprayer hose to the faucet.
Remove the sprayer hose from the faucet to expose the male threads. Wipe the threads dry with a towel. Wrap the threads with pipe-joint tape. Twist a 3/8-inch threaded brass flair cap onto the male threads. Use the pliers to tighten the cap.
Reach beneath the sink and loosen the mounting nut securing the sprayer support to the sink or countertop. Use a basin wrench if you are unable to reach the mounting nut with your hand.
Slide the mounting nut off the hose attached to the sprayer beneath the sink. Pull the sprayer support and the sprayer from the hole in the sink or countertop.
Insert a sink hole cover into the hole left by the sprayer. Depending on the style of hole cover, it could snap in, or a mounting nut could hold it in place.

Delta comes with a limited lifetime warranty. call them to get free parts. I believe you will need to check several things. Remove the spray head from the sprayer hose, point the hose into the sink drain and turn the faucet on. If it no longer makes the banging noise, replace the spray head. You need to look for a leaking spray hose under the sink also. If the faucet is making noise, replace the ball and cam assembly under the faucet handle. One other thing that I have run into is that the shut-off valves under the sink can also go bad and cause banging and vibration.
Look at the clutter under the sink. Is the hose tangled or caught on something? There should be a weight clamped to the hose to make it fall back into place. This weight minght have slid down the hose.
I have the Ladylux plus. I was confused on how to remove this as well. There is a quick release plastic piece, just pull down on the yellow part on the connector under the sink. Disconnect the plastic connector from the hose and pull it right out of the faucet. Very easy to remove in this case.
Turn your water supply off to the existing faucet.
With a crescent wrench and plyers remove the supply tubes from the shut off valves.
Unthread the sprayer hose that is attached to the brass connector under neath your faucet in the cabinet.
Unthread the lock nut and fastening plate which is on the same brass fitting as your spray hose.
Remove faucet from the sink.
Reinstall the new faucet in the reverse order.
Ok well that is probably the install then. there is a brass ring under the sink that is holding the faucet tight to the sink. this has 2 water lines that feed the faucet and the line to your spout. if the copper lines are not pushed apart enough than it will rub one the line with the weight and make it hard to move up and down. you need to get under it with a flash light and move these lines apart. The worst would be that when the faucet was installed the hole was not big enough and that is what it is hitting. So I hope this help you .
