Update 10/15: Came out after 7+ hours, this was one hard vacuum line to disconnect from intake manifold, it was stuck and needed lots of persistence and strength to yank it out. I did use a small flat pry bar, no more than 6" in length from Kobalt to push down the hose and slide the flat pry bar in between the green collar and the plug and kept sliding it to the back and pushing the plug down to free up from the collar, I'm not really sure if this helped release the lock on the inside but had to be very aggressive in pulling the hose. After 7+ hrs I was willing to pay for a new intake manifold if it broke in the process, wasted too much of my valuable on removing just this one connector. Vacuum line connector on the back passenger side stuck to intake manifold and have tried removing it for more than 6 hours and after one week still stuck here, any tip to remove this will be greatly appreciated. Cayenne implemented this push and pull connector style mid 2011 and later models, there's a small tab angled at 45 degrees on the opposite side of the photo position towards to the front of the engine. I can press it down with my finger but the vacuum line plug doesn't come out. Things I have tried so far: Using left hand and one finger to get in the gap and press it down, finger tip hurts bad for a couple of days after pressing for 10+ seconds 😔 Long 45 degree and curved pick to reach the tab, also have tried short ones Metal wire used for garage door rollers, positioning exactly at the tab and pulling up at 60 to 70 degrees from the opposite side PB blaster repeatedly many times Heat gun for a few seconds I'm able to press down the hidden tab using different methods and tools but the plug is unwilling to let go the manifold. Any other ideas to remove it?
