Not sure how to properly remove/service/clean footwell blowers...

I want to remove my footwell blowers, but don't want to risk breaking NLA hoses and parts.
I wanted to post this just to play it safe. I'll apologize in advance for the obviously clueless rookie questions.

As you can see, the blower is blocked by the black tube directly above it. So, I am unable to lift it up.
What's the best way to remove the blower? Do you angle the motor to the side? Or should I remove the black tube above it?
I was hesitant to remove the tubing since it's such a tight squeeze and I fear not being able to get it back on with proper finger leverage.


On the right side, both air tubes are connected to the yellow plastic.
I am able to loosen the clamps, but they aren't sliding off as expected.
Are they glued on? I am handling with kid gloves since I don't want to tear the hoses.
Is there something I'm missing?


What is the correct way to remove this clip?
