Heater core replacement

Hey guys, I'm trying to replace the heater core on my 86 bronco 2, and I cannot seem to get the heater hoses off. Is there some special technique to get them off, or should I just cut them off with a razor or something, and buy new ones once the core is replaced?

Thanks in advance!

Sometimes they are stuck on so tight you need to replace. Might try using a pick like this one: S G Tool Aid SG13700 The Hooker S G Toolaid 13700

Might as well cut em and replace em and you will have that out of the way as a source of leakage.
