Where the rubber/metal lines connects theres a clip holding it to your body. Its easly removable with a flat head screwdriver.

You then push it down and undo it like anything else.

You are talking about the little metal clip correct? Use a flat head screwdriver to pry it off.

Channelock pliers also work very well to remove the clip.
