Brake booster I'm trying to sea foam my engine (after having already done the crank and tank... heh rhyming is fun) and I just don't understand how I'm supposed to get the brake booster line off. I know there's a clip I'm supposed to be able to slide down the hose, but it looks like there are about THREE clips on there with little metal tabs on each of them. Do I pull all of them down with my needle nosed pliers or is there a better way? I feel like I'm going to rip my hose off if I pull too hard and damage something.

i personally don't like messing around with my brake booster vacuum line.
i bought a 12" section of hose at autozone, uncapped the oil fill, pulled the PCV hose off the intake, connected the autozone hose to the intake and used that as my seafoam hose.
back to your question...the clamp you are speaking of should have two little tabs facing one direction and one facing the opposite. you need to squeeze the tabs so that all three of them come together and the clamp loosens.
