How do I disconnect this fuel line?

[DYZ]

Hello all,

I'm preparing to replace a bad PVC hose which requires the removal of the intake manifold. There is a metal line (I think it's the return fuel line) connects to the bottom of the fuel injector rail. The connector has some sort of quick release that I'm not sure how to disconnect. There is a tab to the right side of the connector as shown by the arrow in the picture - note that I cannot put a camera down there so I placed a mirror and took a shoot at the mirror.

Any idea? Is a special tool needed? Thanks!

I figured it out after I removed the fuel rail cover. The thing with the tab is called a lock and VADIS has a picture showing the steps to unlock it. The first picture below was taken from the front; the 2nd was taken from the back after the cover was removed; and the 3rd is the drawing from VADIS.
