Default AIRAID MIT Install ????

I must be retarded or something. Went to install an MIT tonight on my 2011 Denali. I am having an issue with the breather tube. The one that runs from the OEM tube to the intake manifold is like a hard line. Is this the correct line? I cannot get it off of the manifold. Is there a release clip? Does it just pull off? I don't want to break anything. Something so stupid, I feel like I belong on the short bus right now.

Thanks

Yeah that hard plastic tube has a clip holding it to the valve cover nipple... Took me a few minutes to figure out why It wouldn't come off... If you look closely at it you should be able to see it and figure it out.. Kinda hard to describe...

Yeah, its pretty tough, my 2012 had like a little snap ring that had to be released.

Getting the new Airaid tube on wasn't much easier. I actually had to lube the inside of the new tube to get it over the rib on the nipple.

IIRC that tube is released by rotating the clip and then pulling firmly.
