Question Pipe between fuel distributor and lower manifold section 500 SE 1985 UK SPec

Does anyone know how to remove the wierd clip holding the rubber sleeve to the lower half of the fuel distributor ? The clip appears to be some kind of rachet mechanism. Theres not enough room to get clippers or anything in.

PS removing the manifold is not an option due to the state of some bolt heads (They are supposed to be Hex although internally they are are now round ish)

Clip off Very Rusty

Ok folks the clip is now off just needed a lot of releasing spray and some gentle persuasion from the non MB tool (the most important in the box)

Now How do I seperate the rubber sleeve from the manifold ? Just pull or is there some other non MB Tool ?

It always helps if you describe whether the car you're asking about is a Mercedes and then which model it is and then what engine it has.

The fuel distributor is seperated just need to replace it as it has a large hole in it.
