Stuck removing bypass valve

I'm in the process of trying to remove the stock bypass valve, I'm folling the instructions found here.

I have the intercooler off but I am failing at removing the intake tubing. I was able to pop the clamp off the top tube but I can't seem to remove it. The other end of the pipe goes into the bottom of the airbox and there's a tube that goes straight down out of the bottom. I cant for the life of me figure out how to get it off.

The lower intake tube that goes into the throttle body looks a bit tricky as well but I am assuming once I get the top piece off access to that clamp will get easier.
