Well, you're in Canada so I don't think you will be able to remove it without breaking something. The hose itself should come off in one piece but it's highly likely you will break some of the steel lines that connect to it. The line ends sieze up and twist the line instead of spinning on the line.

Yes, there is a clip that needs to be pried out to remove the end from the truck.
