The good news is you're replacing them (if one is leaking and you're keeping the car - have a hose changing party) -- so, removal is usually pretty easy - just cut them off. Do the best job you can cleaning up the flared fittings they're going over. I always use a bit of NeverSeize on the inside of the hose and on the fitting. Helps things slide into place. Don't over tighten clamps. Drain radiator AFTER you've opened the heater valve - that will usually get fluid level low enough that you won't make a huge mess. But some mess is to be expected.

Working at the back of the motor in tight confines is always a PITA. Just get in there and git 'r done.
