Move the two clips that are in the middle (red circle) and then pull the hose apart. Now unclip the bottom clip (blue circle) and pull the hose up. I had trouble with mine since it was never removed since the car was made, so I kept pulling up and twisting it in a circle (kind of like when you're unscrewing a screw ) and it came out after like 5 minutes of playing around with it. It came off in a sec the second time I did it (and I didn't have to remove the 2 center clips)

Also, stop making new posts about using SeaFoam. Just keep asking your questions in one thread

It's an air hose type thing so nothing in there. After you take off the hose, turn on your car and put some SeaFoam in a cup. Let the liquid get sucked in little by little (just dip the hose in and out of the cup).

The first time I did it, I let it suck in about 1/4 of a can. Now turn off the car for 20-30 minutes and then turn it back on. If you rev your car a little, you will start smoking your neighborhood Go for a drive and watch people look at you funny
