Trouble removing stock rubber elbow from charge pipe

Found a single thread on how to remove the band that connects the rubber elbow to the charge pipe.
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...7#post12614947

I took out the charge pipe and could not pop off the band using a flathead like the posts on this thread claimed. Has anyone dealt with this before? Rather not use the cutting wheel unless I have to

Had to cut mine off. Wear good eye protection.

Apply heat with a hair dryer and it should come off easier.

Figured it out finally! To anyone with this problem, make sure you take off the charge pipe all the way. Don't put the screwdriver directly under the tabs, instead just a little off to one side. Be persistent
