Tips on Removing Hoses?

[WONTONnPHO]

I'm a noob working on swapping out my KA24de for another one since my old motor died at 189k miles. So far I got the harness out, intake out, radiator, fan, shroud, exhaust, and now I'm working on taking the hoses off the fuel pump but they're pretty deep in there and its a PITA taking that off. I took the old one off my new motor by using a flat head screwdriver to push it out but it was difficult. Anybody got tips for a :newbie: ?
