You have to just 'crack' them, once youve broken the seal they will just slide off. Either pry them off the rails with a flatblade screwdriver, or grab the hose right near but not on the rail, and twist till it breaks free, failing that, just cut the hose at the end of the rail, cut off the hose remaining on the rail, and then put the fresh cut end back on after.

Folow Danns' suggestion and install new hoses when reassembling.

Twist the hose with some pliers to brake the seal
