well, take the clamps off, yank the hoses off, take the bolts out and VOILA!

If you can't get the hoses off, your simply not trying hard enough

Sometimes the rubber couplers will stick to the intercooler and will require some effort to break them loose. I got a tiny flat head screw driver and stuck it between the coupler and intercooler to break it loose.
