When taking the brass end fitting off the chrome pipe that goes into the regulator, you may find it is on extremely tight. I had to take ours into a machine shop to get taken apart.
Two pairs of vise grips did the job for me. There is a flat spot on one end of the fixture where you can get a solid grip.
If you are using a longer hose like a 20 footer, go with the 3/8" dia. size instead of the 1/4" one to minimize pressure drop. I would get the type of hose that has the more flexible rubber jacket as it's much easier to coil up or lay on the ground.
You may end up having to go to several stores to get all the fittings you need - I did. I found the best local place for fittings to be a hardware store that has an excellent stock of fittings for BBQs. A plumbing wholesaler would also be good.
I actually had problems finding the needed fixtures at local hardware and BBQ stores. Amazon is your friend.
Link to Amazon 10 foot quick connect hose $25
Link to quick connect male fitting $10:
Link to Amazon 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch brass fitting $6
Link to Amazon 90 brass elbow $5
Total cost is about $40 of which $25 is for the 10 foot quick connect hose.

If you're not familiar with gas fittings, I'd put some soapy water on them to check for leaks.
