To remove the tube just push it to one side, it'll release and you can pull it right off.

To remove it from the manifold, just get yourself a small flat bladed screwdriver and press down in the center of the tab on the manifold and pull straight out.

those are just stainless button caps from ACE hardware. I drilled out his coil brackets with 1/4" drill bit before i did the powder coating then went to ACE and got the bolts. I polished the tops up a bit also. I used socket caps on mine, either one looks nice IMO.
