1. have the a/c properly evacuated to ensure that you don't break any laws when you open it.
2. there is a bolt behind the line. It's on top of the canister you took a picture of. Undo it and remove.

If you are going to reuse your a/c then replace the line and get it vacuumed out again to clean it. Viola it's done and back together.
