Just press the clip upwards and when you slide it off the reservoir nipple, pull the hose slightly up just to be safe and go not let any coolant get out.

Chances are some coolant will be spilling out in this process and that's ok. When you connect a hose to the bleeder hose, make sure it is a hood and water tight figment. Or you'll be having some leaving out. When I connected mine, I fit the extensions hose over the bleeder hose and also wrapped it in some high temp tape. Not only that but I also wrapped a couple towels around the connection in case anything was to leak.
