Default Detaching Coolant Hoses

I'm installed an FIPK and part of the process is removing the coolant hose from under the throttle body and intake manifold in order to remove the stock hard piping. I pulled the metal clips back but the hoses just won't budge. I just installed the FIPK with the stock hard piping in place. Everything seems fine but any help on removing the damn coolant hose?

some soft grip pliers (or use some cloth) and rotate the pipe till it moves, it will require some reasonable force! .... they do really stick! You *may* still damage them but hopefully not

May try breaking the seal free with a flat tip if it's really bad, but usually the pliers thing works.
