Having problems removing the brake vacuum pipe from either intake manifold or brake master end. Is there an easier way than pulling the pipe off the connectors, since it's hardened with time and seems stuck.

Thanks again for a common sense answer to the problem. I am off the spanners for the weekend but will give it a try this week.
