It doesn't take much grime to mess things up, and the plastic always seems to be brittle. I've had better luck using a pick on the locking tabs end to spread the tabs and push the clip out from that end. Still easy to break though if they're brittled by heat.

The brittle part is what worries me ...I cant see a steel spring clip in it? poor picture but it looks like I push out or in on the two clips? The coolant hoses I have had off the white one is what I'm not sure of. The pick is a good idea.
