Need help with S/C Intake desperately!!

I am trying to pull off my S/C Intake tube to replace the green gasket between the tube and the S/C. I have already got the left side off the S/C part, but I can't seem to get these DAMN hoses out of it!!!

As you can see, I already broke those damn red pieces.

Can someone explain to me how to get these things off???

You take a screwdriver or trim tool, push DOWN on the Red female connector and PULL the Tube out.

Hmm ok I will try that.

Now that I broke the one red thing, can I still get it out? And Can I still put the tube back in after? Did I fubar it?

You see how the Red tab with the black is up just a bit. Once it is flush with the intake pipe you can pull out the vacuum tube

You have to kind of push the hose into the connector (red thing), push the connector down & pull out the hose.
I dunno if the connectors can be replaced if damaged..

Ok, thanks guys. I hope I didn't mess this up. What are these two tubes for anyways? Are they pre-boost?

I'm pretty sure you broke it.
But those s/c intake tubes are only about $100 from the dealer (or cheaper online, like pelicanparts.com).
It's part #: 17-51-1-524-439

Btw, your right hand seems to be lot better looking than your left...
