If you squeeze the two sticky out bits towards each other a little with pliers the lemon clip will open up a little hon and it will be easier to wriggle off.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Half way there, got the minor disconnected, typed a massive post and it disappeared!

Now I have got the lemon onto the propane hose but I can't get the hose back onto the torch.  Is it just brute force or is there something I am missing?  It is a tight fit anyway with just the hose so how can I get the hose with the lemon on it onto the flipping torch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Put the clip on the hose and let it drop down the length a bit. Fit the hose to the bath, then wiggle the clip back up over it ant tighten. Sometimes they need opening up a bit extra beforehand or they won't slide over the fitted hose.
