Default Removing HR strut bar

Hi guys, have a problem with removing the 07 HR strut bar. I have removed the 3 bolts and 1 nut of the strut bar, but when I try to pull it out, it seems like the brake fluid line is secured with the strut bar. How do i disconnect that from the strut bar? Thanks

Screwdriver to pry open the connector, you can close it again when your done. Hope the BRAKE LINE doesn't get in the way.
