[s-cars] Rear brake line removal help needed

Hello S-Heads!

I'm running into trouble finding the procedure in the Bentley manual to 
remove the rear rubber brake lines from the calipers on my '92 S4, and I 
was hoping someone could provide the missing details or a BTDT.

Getting the rear flexible brake lines off the calipers is pretty 
straight forward, but I'm a little concerned about getting them 
disconnected from the mounting point on the body of the car.

It appears that the rubber rear brake lines connect in some sort of clip 
arrangement mounted to the body just aft of the wheel well.  It's not 
immediately clear how one disconnects it, and the Bentley manual doesn't 
seem to offer any help here.  Since I'm at the cottage right now, I'd 
rather not chance damaging the lines since replacement parts will be 
difficult to obtain this far from the city (and on a weekend).

The brake line and clip I'm referring to are items 24 and 25 on 
illustration 611-30 of ETKA (A10Q, 93, 6, 11, 611-30).

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,
-Dave
