"Push Lock" fuel hose fittings

I am planning to relocate my Racor filters, the lines are equipped with "push lock" type (yellow ring) connectors. I am not sure what is the correct way to unscrew the hose fitting. With a hose clamp I'd loosen and pull the hose off then unscrew the fitting. But with these it seems they have to be cut off the hose, or maybe unscrew the hose letting the fitting rotate inside the hose, if it will, or worse turn the entire lenght of hose to unscrew the fitting from the filter, but it has the same type of fitting on the opposite end.
These have held up well never leaking a drop.
So what correct way to remove them. I will need to install longer hoses for the new location?
Thanks in advance
