Default Removing a stubborn hose

Hi all

I am having trouble with the heater in the car. I suspect the heater matrix is bunged up so want to flush it out in case. I have managed to get one of the hoses off the heater matrix but the other one seems welded on. Anyone have any bright ideas to get it off? I have tried
- rolling it back from the end
- squirting some WD40 as best I could between the hose and metal pipe it is on
- gripping the hose and trying to rotate it (doesn't move)

Also, anyone had any experience with cleaning solutions for this? I am concerned that it might dislodge something and case a leak.

All help appreciated

Thanks

Lee.
