Help removing pipe from Airspring

The spring clip that releases the fixed hose from the top of the airspring bag is broken on my x5 and I cant release the hose. Any ideas on how to get it off? Please help

If it is broken then pull the pieces out. Ensure you have bled the pressure off first so the coupling doesn't pop off and break. The fitting should pull straight up, but maybe tight since it has been on for years. The spring clip is actually what holds the pipe on by locking into a groove, when you squeeze it he clip flexes out of the groove allowing the fitting to be removed.

Thanks for the reply. Will I need a replacement to keep in in place when I reassemble?

Tried but won't budge. It's the stiff pipe kind and no matter how hard I pull nothing moves.
