twist it to get it loose. it probably hasn't been taken off for a long time and it's seized to the brake booster. just give it some twists and pull it off of there. you can also try to gently get a thin flat blade screwdriver and put it in the hose to break it free from the booster.

I used a plier, grabbed the hose that's over the BB nipple, and twisted. After the seal's broken, the hose slips right off. Good luck.

if you are just pulling a hose, it will only get tighter (chinese finger trap) you have to pull from the base of the hose so it wont shrink
