The hose just plugs into the ring. You push the two tabs on the side and then pull it out. Judging by the rust inside the hose this vacuum has been sitting for a long time so the rubber power take off socket is likely swelled up and stuck if not the hose rusted in place. Will take some wiggling and strength to remove it. If you have some aerosol silicone lubricant (not wd40) and squirt that in the tab holes and around the hose plug before pulling. You will have to reassemble the vacuum and then try again as it's not possible with the entire hose coupler removed from the vacuum.
