Need help on getting brake booster hose off

make sure the car is warmed up for the seafoam and the heat will make the rubber expand enough to make it easy to get off. make sure you loosened the clamp and pulled it further up the line. then pull and twist and it should come right up. also when i say warm, i drove my car into work before using the seafoam. it wont do much if you let it idle for 5 mins then try it.
