Disconnect Intake Bellows PCV Hose?
My 2009 Coupe has a small hose (PCV?) that goes vertically into the intake bellows. It looks like removing this hose would make it easier to move things around when replacing the air filter.
The hose has what looks like a quick release fitting, there is a springy tab that can be pushed/rotated. But the fitting still dosen't want to come off, do I need something else to release it or just hold the tab back and pull up harder?

On my '07 it is just a barbed fitting that goes into the coupler. Just twist a bit on it while pulling.

Like you I got frustrated with getting that dam hose off and than got a pair of long needle nose pliers and went in directly from the top and success - such success that it took like 2 seconds - very easy I guess with right tool. Place the need nose around the "press release" squeeze and work back.
