Default Vacuum Hose Removal

Could any one advise the correct procedure to remove the vacuum hose where it enters the inlet manifold elbow. The price of a new one is eye watering. See picture attached. The other option I have is to remove the inlet elbow, but as usual there is a bolt in an awkward position.

Push IN on the outer plastic diameter of the fitting while gently pulling OUT on the plastic pipe.

Cheers Bob,

I had tried everything else but not that. Worked a treat.

Regards
Paul.
