Probable paperbag moment coming up...

How do you disconnect the air intake pipe from the air box and the other pipe its connected to!?
I've undone the clips on each end, it it just a matter of pulling it off or what!?

I have a replacement to go on as the one on at the moment has a hole in it (masterfully taped up!)

Oh, also the screws are nicely rusted onto the air box so i cant change the air filter either! WD40 applied & fingers crossed.

Help appreciated!

I think it's just a case of undo clips > pull off the pipes.

I think there's a ridge on the lip of the male parts, so get the clips quite loose.
