Default Cold start injector

Am replacing the fuel injectors on my 85 stock L98. Got Rebuilt Bosch IIIs from Fuel injection Connection. Well deserved reputation for great customer service. Called him about the Cold start injector, seems sensible not to put it back in as is. He said he could rebuild it. Got it out, but cant figure how to remove the fuel line connection from the top of the injector. Dont see any clips or anything, just dont want to force it. Does it just pry off, it seems pretty tight, Ill call FIC in the AM if no one here has done it. Like I said the guy is extremely helpful as are all of you

Gently bend the tab straight out, then unscrew the tube from the injector. Good luck

When you put it back together, screw it on the line hand tight, then back off a little so you can bend the tab back.
