Simple.  Get a tool that can slide between the hose and the pipe and move it
around to free it, then it will come off.  The tool is available at Harbor
Freight, it's call radiator hose removing tool.  But I have made one myself
by bending an old screw driver to an L shape, after I have sharpened the end
of it.
