Removing the tube

This is an absolute beginner question, but how exactly do I remove the filament tube that’s attached to the extruder?

I want to try a cold pull since my nozzle seems to be clogged and won’t print, but all the videos I was able to find were from different series than the P1P and don’t seem to work for it.

I’ve seen people push a part down to pull it out, but no matter what I push, nothing gets ‘pushed down’, maybe I’m pushing the wrong parts??

I’d really love for someone to be able to help me, preference to photos or something so I can see exactly what to do if possible !

To remove the PTFE tube, carefully press and hold down on the black ring, then remove the PTFE tube by gently pulling it out. (It often helps to push in with the ptfe tube when you push down on the black ring.)

It’s really a pain by hand.

I really like this tool that makes it a lot easier.

So if the filament is till engaged, is it possible to remove tube? Or do you have cut filament?
