the fuel filter one is a bit tricky but usually taking a pliers and grabbing the hose where it goes over the plastic and twisting does the trick. You should hear a nice satisfying crack and it should come lose. If they are stuck on you probably shouldnt re-use them anyway so I say do whatever it takes to pull them off

Twist 'n pull, twist 'n pull the other way, twist 'n pull, twist 'n pull the other way, twist 'n ... you get the message...

Like pip said, now is a damn good time to install some new hose, then you can just cut the old crusty bastard off of there...
