how to get boost elbow hose off

I can't seem to get the line off of the boost elbow.
There is some holder or clamp that holds it on the stock boost elbow...
and It seems like it is a one time clamp, Is it?
I cant figure out how to open it....

anyone?

You REALLY have to yank on it...

I did mine yesterday...

Or if you are installing a boost elbow, just cut 3/4" of the hose off with a sharp blade...

You REALLY have to tug at it.
