Default Focus - How to disconnect coolant hose?

Hi,

Can someone advise how to disconnect a EGR Cooler top hose -specifically the end that goes into bulkhead/heating matrix?




Does it have a release catch, or do I just need to man-up and twist and pull ???


Here's some pictures of the replacement hose but I can't get the old hose disconnected.
I can see that the grey part needs to be twisted but it won't move and it's in a difficult place (not much room).











Many
thanks

For anyone that's interested I've tracked this down to a product called "ABA Twist" - also see here.



Hope this helps someone else...
