Lit06Si,
Pull out the studs. I had to do it. I tried and tried and tried for hours to get that bottom hose off, and I couldn't. I ended up taking the studs out (they aren't more than finger-tight from the factory). The simplest way to do it would be to tighten two nuts together on the stud, then use your open-end wrench on the inner nut to back out the stud. When you're done and ready to put the studs back in, just finger-tighten them, then use a pair of pliers to GENTLY snug them into the head (be careful not to ruin the threads). I did this and everything went back together great. Hope this helps.
