pull harder, or get a small amount of WD40 on there and twist them off...

Slide the clamps back...

if they are loose, but still over the part of the hose that's on the BPV, they may prevent the hose from coming off.

As others mentioned...pull, tug, twist, yank...eventually it will come off. There is a sharp ridge on the end of the BPV fitting that makes it a chore to do this...so persistence is the key.
