Default Is there a trick to take out vacume line from brakebooster?

I am planning to take out vacuum line from brake booster and its not coming off because of vacuum. Is there any trice to it? I want to take it out so I can put some seafoam.

I already pull clip down but its hard to put screw driver inbetween the end of the hose. I will try it again tonight when I go home.

Take a pair of pliers and twist the hose on the fitting, this frees the seal and your good to go.

Pump the brakes a few times(3-4) with the engine off and it will get rid of the vac.

I would not run seafoam through the brake booster vacuum seeing as it has a check valve in the line and you really don't want to be pouring liquid into a check valve
