I often find that I have to slice the hose axially and then peal it open in order to get hoses off. Of course if you want to save the hose this may not be a good option. In that case I would try a heat gun or hair dryer and channel locks. Assuming it is diesel you shouldn't have any problems with the heat.
As for the deck fill side of the hose, remove the fill from the deck with the hose attached. It probably needs re-bedded anyway. Once the fill is out you can remove the hose, reinstall new, and then rebed. While the fill is separated, clean up both matting surfaces, mask the deck and then place the fill in place. Trace the fill, remove the fill and now remove the traced portion of the mask. You should now have a perfect mask around where the fill will attach to the deck. Use 4200 to seal the interface between the deck and fill. After the fasteners are snug, wipe clean, repeat, then remove the mask. After the 4200 has cured apply the final torque to the fasteners.
