Cut it with snips then repace it with a new jublee clip. You might also want to get some silicone pipe for the top hose as im sure it will snap when you remove it

I had exactly the same problem when I changed mine and yeah a pair of snips will do the job or if you're careful a dremmel type jobbie will do nicely.  Replace with Jubilee clips as previously said.  I found with mine that the top hose was in good condition and I just pulled the old one off (clip and all) and pushed it onto the new DV without having to remove / replace the clip.  Good job too as I couldn't find a jubilee clip small enough to go into the recess at the top.  A year and a half later and its still going strong.
