Need help removing plastic clip

[gamergurl21871]

Ok I was helping swap a 3100 v6 engine for another one we got from a junkyard, we got it swapped and it works fine, but we noticed it was leaking water, and thats when we noticed this pipe below the throttle body. There was a plastic clip that was missing on the other motor got and water was leaking out of it and we broke it off the motor that came out of the car, but we had another motor thats the same and it has the clip in it but we don't know how to get it out without breaking it, I was wondering if there was a special tool to remove it or what. Heres a pic of what I'm talking bout in case I have confused anyone.

you can usually disconnect them by squeezing the 2 tabs on the side while pushing in then pulling out on the tube. They use the same clip on fuel lines if you are familiar with them.

no special tool is required, just pop it out by hand carefully.
