Also the connect tab on the blower does come off after you've removed the booster line. If your removing the blower, id pull tha tab off as it can be broken while removing or putting the blower back on as ive broken one. Thankfully needswings had a spare one off a broken blower he didnt need that he sold to me as you cannot replace that part.
OK, I'll give that another try. I can see the end of the white piece and it has what appears to be soft red ribbed rubber around it's end circumference. That red rubber I believe gives the seal to the line when it is inserted tightly, and it increases the circumference. It is the red rubber I believe that is hung up on the bottom of the two tabs and preventing the white piece from completely coming out. As I back the white piece out I'm going to try and raise at least one of the two tabs and get that thing disconnected.
I do not want to take off the supercharger. I do not want to take the hose off the white end piece until I have it free from the supercharger. Once it is off the car I can use some heat and a razor blade to save the white piece for my new vacuum line.
I do not understand what you mean by " Also the connect tab". Are you referring to the black fitting that is actually attached to the supercharger?
Thank you for your help!!
