Use a rad hose pick. Poke it in between the hose and the nipple and work it around the outside. The hose will pop right off.

Where did you find the tool? I tried oriellys and auto zone, they are both near my home, but neither had them.

I just used a flat blade screwdriver, taking my time to work around the hoses to break the bond to the metal. I had to add a little extra to the cuss-box, but it finally broke the hoses free.

At Oreillys they were busy so I walked through the store searching for one. Nothing found.
