Like JayG said use channel locks or vise grips to release the pressure of the clamp and while the ends are squeezed together slide the whole clamp down the hose well away from the piece being clamped. If the hose is hard to remove from the pipe at this stage try warming it up with a hair drier or a heat gun, remember warming it (not hot!). Then twist, pull, turn - pull it off (swearing usually helps). We're not suppose to use a flat screw driver to break the seal between the hose and pipe But if your careful not to mare the pipe, it works.
