OE lower radiator hose remove how?

OK, I know this should be easy but I cannot figure out how to remove the lower hose form the radiator from my 5.4 Expedition. It says on the sleeve to bend the tabs and turn. What tabs? Thank you for the help with this...
Any hints on getting to the oil cooler hose clamps would be a big help too.

you will see a strip of metal with two tabs you take some channel locks or vise grips and compress the two tabs together releiving the tension so you can move the metal away from the end of the hose than you can take the hose off, good luck

This a different type of clamp. It is on the lower hose only. Thanks.
The lower neck that the hose goes on has 2 o rings.
