Just purchased a used Danby kegerator, great shape but the beer lines need to be changed. How can I replace the lines? Have no clue where to start. Need some pointers.

Yep - what gunrunner said. I just helped a friend do this, when I hooked up his brothers old kegorator and I looked at the lines and said "Umm....friend...this is full of mold...lets replace this before you make your bud light even worse".
It was a bit of a PITA, because the lines were on so well. I forget the type of clamp on the end with the tower, but I ended unscrewing the tap from the tower so the line can be pulled out. Used a screwdriver and knife to pry/break that clamp on the end going to the faucet, and the end attaching to the coupler that attaches to the keg. When you put on a new hose, just use a screwable hose clamp. Much easier to deal with, just be sure it is very tight.
