My current expansion tank has a crack on the side and looking to replace it. I found a replacement online but trying to remove it I found four connections removed three connections but one & the only one that is holding me up is the top main connection to the radiator. I pulled the retaining clip but I don't want to pull to hard should it just pop out or is their something more involved?

Thanks in advance!

Pull the clip and from both sides of the fitting, gently apply pressure with a couple of screwdrivers and it should pop off.
