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.
