Default how to disconnect vacuum fitting?

Hi guys. I'm trying to disconnect the 2 vacuum fittings on the passenger side of the supercharger. (the tube at the top of the photo is supposed to be under the vacuum fittings not above it) I can't figure out how to remove them and I don't want to break them. There's 2 tabs 180 degrees apart from each other. Do I push both of them in at the same time? Thanks in advance for anyone's help. This board has been great.

Yes, just push both tabs in - fitting should release O/K...

Those are actually intercooler coolant lines so prepare for escaping coolant. I've a special tool I use but small fingers can work too.

Glad you figured it out. I said they were coolant lines in post #3.
