Working on a video for how to replace spark plugs in C7 S6. Only thing that has not been simple so far is disconnecting two small vacuum hoses connected to the ignition rail. Has anybody encountered this?

It's the small hose with green on it in the photo. There is another one at the opposite side of the rail. Should I be trying to disconnect it toward the end with green on it or on the other side of the rubber sleeve? I am worried I will rip the sleeve if I grab it with pliers.

NVM. Used my trim removal tool to carefully, but very forcefully separate the hoses. Good god these are on there tight

yes it's very hard to remove this
normally you have just to pull and it's done but it can be "sold" with the heat of the engine so you can pass a little peace of metal like a tiny BTR screw driver to "unsold it" and after it's easy
be carrefull to not make a hole honey lol

Old plug looks ok. No fouling.
