Hi, I also replaced my waterpump a couple of months ago with an $150 aftermarket one, it lasted 30 days then the pully broke off the shaft, so I let the shop do the next one with an oem pump, would have done it myself again but was closer to the shop and the weather was bad. I know.... lame excuses .... wasn't a hard diy but not a job i wanted to do twice. Got my money back for the bad one, they said it had a bad weld. Oh well.
Anyway my tip is to use a hair dryer to heat up the hoses a bit then they slipped right off.
Good luck
dave
