N18 BSH Catch Can help (2011 MCS)

Has any one installed this kit? Do you have clearer pictures than the fuzzy one BSH uses in instructions. What tricks did you use to remove the connector on the PCV side of the hose.

I am fairly mechanical, but I have to see how things work internally.

I am having a tough time take the PCV side of the PCV hose off. It seems to have the extra clip holding the hose on. I cracked it prying up on it with a flat blade. I used very little leverage. I can't tell if I twist it loose, rock and pull or what. I scare to go too far or I will break it entirely.

How are the metal bands removed from the hose?
