Default how to remove hoses?

All the air hoses and hoses like it are pressed onto another larger connector and are a b**ch to get off. Is there an easy way of taking the hoses off the connectors? Do i need to heat it with a heat gun or just pry a flat head under it and try to get it off that way? There has to be an easy way,lol

Which hoses are you referring to? You can put the flat screwdriver under the rad hoses and get them loose. You can also use channel locks and twist them off. If you are going to replace them then you can also cut them off.

hoses like the one connected to the tb.its stuck on there and i couldnt get it off. and ones like the one connected to the stock air intake - that one pulls right off but the other end of it down near the firewall doesnt pull right off - i spent like 25 minutes getting it off once.
