Default Help Removing Rubber Hoses

I'm in the midst of installing my AEM CAI, but am having a bitch of a time removing the hoses that connect to the throttle body and the valve cover. They just don't want to budge. Any Tips?

A neat trick is twisting the hose and then pulling.

Those buggers were damn near impossible until I tried this technique.

If there is room, try "pushing" them back on to break them loose.

Get a small flat head screwdiver and cover it with two wraps of electrical tape. Wigggle it under in a point or two. Then pull side to side and up and down to free the mother (s).........
