Like everoyne else said, the bent needle nose seems like your best friend!

 

I cut mine. Right at the end of the fitting from the sensor on the bottom of the IM. There's plenty of slack and if not it's a cheap hose anyway. Don't make this tougher than it needs to be. Plug it with a bolt when you get it off.

 

^^^^ what he said. Tugging and twisting can put too much strain on the fitting and it can break off.
