Default LS3 PCV Disconnect?

How do you disconnect the PCV connection on a new LS3 without breaking it? Is there a tab or way to push it to get the dumb thing apart? It is probably simple, but I don't want to screw it up. Thanks.

There is a clip near the base of the fitting. It covers about half of the circumference of the connector.

The clip slides in and out of the fitting. When engaged its sticks out a little. To release the clip, you push in or toward the center of the tube. Do not force it. If you push in at the middle, it should release fairly easily.
