underhood temps are high enough that it can cause the rubber to *really* stick. try disconnecting at the aluminum transfer tube (small end) first. after loosening the band clamp enough to slide it out of the way, wiggle it around until you see it has broken free. after removing that connection, then just left that end of the rubber piece towards the hood, twisting it free. it will be darn near impossible to pull it straight off if it hasn't been removed for some time.
hope that helps! They put a hose on them because they're not nearly so stubborn when new, but time and the high underhood heat of turbo cars will 'weld' hoses.
