Push the male fitting in slightly, pull the collar back on the female fitting and then pull strait out, no twisting required.
Note: Some of the higher end fittings have locks on the collars, if the collar will not move back look for a dimple and a slot that needs lined up.

You may have the Quick Disconnect style fittings if there is not a collar on the female fitting that will slide back.
As unbelievable as it sounds, the line has to be given a quick and firm jerk and they pop apart. It is an uncomfortably violent process until you get used to it.
This works best if there is no pressure on the hydraulic system. If the lever has a float setting then put it in float first.

Actually you will find that they come apart fairly easy if you first push in and then pull out. All in one quick motion.
Those type of couplers are designed so that if you forget to unplug the hoses from an implement and you drive away, they will uncouple on their own and no damage is done other than the male end is dirty.

Its kind of frustrating to see someone fight with them, hitting with hammers and so on. Give it a good tug and it should release. Pressure relieved with engine off.
Actually I just tried it a little while ago and it worked perfect.....never would have guessed it !!!! Thanks again for the always helpfull advice guys !!!!
Good to hear it worked out for you. See, it wasn't a dumb question at all!
Next time you can be the guy with the answer. That is what we are here for.

Kinda,sorta ? A good yank and out it comes.I guess if ya drive off and forget it theres no damage done !!!
I have those type of fittings on the front of my big tractor for hooking up the hydraulic hoses to my grapple. One of them is stubborn and won't release just by jerking on it or pushing in and then jerking all in one motion.
I finally figured out the way to do it. Reach behind the female part and pull it out towards you. Then pull on the male part. It releases easily.
Wish I had a video of this. It's hard to explain but easy to do.
