Help on A/C Line clamp

I am trying to repair the front end of a 2007 FJ Cruiser and got to replacing the A/C condensor and lines. I can't figure how to disconnect the A/C line clamp. The tech manual shows a special tool. I have tried to use a stiff wire in a U shape and can get the wires into the holes but it will not release. Does anyone know the trick to getting this open?

Thanks

Not familiar with the newer models...Do you have a pic of the offending clamp?

Get the special tool. Either buy a set or check Autozone. They used to have a loaner tool program.
