AC tube connections, will not seperate

Hi

Have to change the tubes witch goes from compressor to radiator. There is a connection close to radiator witch seems to have a sort of spring lock inside the connection female side.(if it can be explained like this)

How to seperate? It is rather stuck.(yes...the safety lock clip is removed)

You need a special tool to release the garter spring. I'm not sure if there is a makshift way to do this. They are usually only a couple of dollars over here made of plastic.

Thanx, guess the guys over at the AC shop has the right tool for disconnect. Will try them first.
