How do I remove the 2 hoses?

I am trying to install the i/c reservoir and I am using pliers on the hose clamps but when I pull the hose out it feels like the stock reservoir is glued to the hoses. How do I take it off? Also I removed the antifreeze from the stock reservoir already.

Carefully grab the hose with some pliers and rotate it. That should break it loose and enabler you to slide it off. You can also take a hose pick and pull backthe edge of the hose and spray something like wd40 or silicone to help the hose slide.

Thanks WD40 did the trick. The bottom hose was a bitch though, when I pulled it out, a bunch of antifreeze spilled all over. But with some WD40 and struggling it came out. Thanks for the tip. Would you recommend me just putting brand new antifreeze in or re-use what was in the stock? I have some green prestone around here. Should I just pour that in the new I/c reservoir and mix it with water?
