PCV Hose Removal?

Got an Alta turbo inlet hose due in tomorrow. How do you disconnect the PCV hose from the OEM hose? Don't see a clamp so do you just pull it off? Also, should I clamp it to the new hose?

Thanks

Yea really just twist it and pull it out. You don't need a tool.

I will say that the "nose picker" tool posted is one of the tools I used the most during moost tube installation, especially hard pipes. It's also great for intimidating your neighbors while having a grimacing look on your face!
