Default Need QUICK help on borlas please

I am about to ship out my borlas to a forum member and need to get them taken apart. I have the clamp off, but I cant seem to get the pipes unconnected. Do they pull straight apart from each other or is there something I have to do first? Just wondering if you guys could help.

Thanks!

They pull straight apart. Lightly tap around the clamp area with a hammer. If you need to get a soft mallet an wack them at the bend...
