Unhappy Removing the brake booster line.. how?

I can't get it off of there, it turns but won't come off.. i try pinching the clamp on the end of it and pulling, but that doesn't seem to help... it doesn't turn at all when the engine is off... how do i get this sucker off?

Thank you!

sounds like you need to eat some wheaties, my friend. it comes off rather easy once the clamp is moved.

depends on the type of clamp that is on there. usually there isn't even a clamp on vacuum lines, they don't go anywhere.
don't worry about breaking it.

ok, thank you matt.. i got the clamp off and finally got the hose off by doing some back and forth wiggling which i didnt try before.. just straight pulled on it.

Now my car is sitting with seafoam
