Need Help (code blue stat)

I have disconnected the return line on the fuel bowl
Now Im tryn the feed line at the bottom.
The nut has come off - no worries - but for the life of me i cant get the tube out. I can see it is loose, but iI cant pull it out.
What am I doing wrong ???
was thinkn, does the tube come out or do I have to remove the whole sleeve that screws into the bowl ?

New ones ???
oh dear. got impatient and ended up taking the whole sleeve out. Then while the tube was hanging there it come loose and the sleeve ended up in the middle of the engine valley
anyways got it back. There were a couple of spare sleeves in the CCK kit but the diameter on the feed tube looks to big for those. ??
Re installed with the original. You saying it wont seal ??

K , will deal with the seal later.
My next prob, is removing the air con bracket. Do you have to get rid of the tensioner first ?. there seems to be two bolts i cant get at because of the tensioner. I took out the top bolt above the tensioner assuming that was the one holding it in, but I cant budge it.
