air intake

i am trying to get at my throttle body (98, 2.5L) to clean it but the air intake doesn't want to come off after loosening the clamp... can someone point me in the right direction here? thanks

air intake

hi thanks for the reply-- i in fact took the clamp off and it still wouldn't budge at all. maybe a good dose of WD-40 will do the trick? i've never heard any trick or issues with this tube before and so it's very perplexing why it's so tight...
