The hose on our Dyson DC03 has split right next to the plastic collar

But I can't get it out.

In this picture http://thedowerhouse.com/pics/hose.jpg you can see a
promising-looking tab-in-a-slot below the green button, and there's one
the same on the other side. I've poked them hard in every direction but
I can't get them to do anything useful.

Ideas?

I had the same problem - there is no way to release it - it's glued to
the inner tube of the collar.
I just pulled mine off - scraped away the excess glue - cut the hose
back - put some glue around the inside of the hose and glued it back
on.
