DO NOT pull on it. If it comes out by pulling, it will break. Pull back the plastic collar, capture the spring clip, and pull it out (don't take your eye or pliers off of it, or you'll never see it again). NOW the line will pull out. Reinstall the clip into the grooves it came out of (the line will "snap" back in with it in place).

If your oil cooler is clogged, the cooler is the least of your worries.
