Default Water pump hoses

The hoses attached to my water pump will not budge, are there any tricks for getting the hoses off the water pump?

thanks

Once the clamp is loose and slid back try turning it back and forth/pulling up and down. If you're not going to reuse the hose slice it with a utility knife.

I agree. Had to do that to my old truck. It wouldn't budge so tried the twisting and pulling up and down. Worked like a charm.
