Cold air intake pipe from outside

I have spent hours on this and I cannot get this off. What is the trick? I see two tabs and it should be easy enough to push the tabs down and put it a part but nope that does NOT work. The whole thing is flimsy. You get one tab done the other keeps you from moving progress, you get the other tab down and the other one comes back up. You try both down and the whole thing moves with your tools installed and both tabs come back up and reject your tool.s

What a mess, The rest of the work would just use a friggen hose clamp or a couple of screws with mating parts.
