It's just a jubilee clip mate you'll need a screw driver.

You mean the actual long pipe that goes from the airbox, all the way around the back of the engine to the TB?

You can get it out with the lower inlet in place with a struggle, just keep pulling and looking whats in the way and wriggling round it. Never tried putting one back on though and wouldnt like to! are you fitting a new inlet manifold?
