How to unclip XJ8 Radiator expansion tank hose?

For the life of me I can't figure out how to unclip this Plastic Secondary Upper/Bleed Expansion Tank hose? Any help appreciated, thanks.

I don't have my camera handy, but it's these clips I have circled in red, if you're familiar.

Just squeeze the outside rings where they are open which in turn spreads the clips they are attached to.

Great, thanks for the help!
I just didn't want to force anything, figured I'd play it safe and ask first.

Yep, worked like a charm. one side was really easy to get off, the other side was a little more stiff. Thanks again.
