Default Brake fluid supply tubes from the retaining clip and booster rrepair

brake fluid supply tubes from the retaining clip..

I m removing the Brake booster, however I can figure out how to remove the brake fluid supply tubes from the retaining clip. It is in an awkward location and I can not see what tool or how to remove it. Here is a pic from the workshop manual Thermo or any one else advise.

Thanks Da-X

I figured it out. The clip is a piece of metal with a rubber inset with 2 channels above it for the pipes. The rubber insert simply slides over a stud mounted to the firewall, Simply pull it forward and it slides off the stud. Duh!

Also I found out how to fix the brake booster. The rubber diaphragm slides off the canter plate. This prevents the master brake cylinder from retracting fully. simply sliding it back on fixes the dragging brake problem. I will post pics.
