ac line help

[olymaster]

i got a hole in my discharge line
my question is how do i seperate the line from the other line before it goes into the evaporator little radiator thing. the discharge line is help together by a little spring inside of the other line and i cant figure out how to seperate the 2 and its pissing me off big time
