A little too vague as to what you're trying to do. Usually it's just a flare nut and a hose clamp depending on if it's the low or high pressure side. A lot of times where the hose clamps are the hose bonds to the pipe, get a pair of pliers and/or channel locks to give a twist to break the bond.

remove the pulley and use a flare wrench. You can pick up a cheap pulley remover / installer from most parts store.
