Vacuum hoses tend to sort of bond themselves to connecting nipples.

Since you don't reuse any of the parts, take a sharp knife and make a slit along the vacuum hose from the base of the connecting nipple to the end of the connecting nipple. The vacuum hose will simply pop off after that.

^Thats what I did

That hose is cheap rubber, I'm sure if you did need to replace it, it would be easy to find.

or you could just wriggle it from the bottom. just pick/pull on the bottom with a finger nail at one point and work around the tube.

I used pliers to push it down from the top end part. It didn't even take strength to unlatch it. I guess I can say, I used a tool.
