The return line from the cylinder to the reservoir is one continuous line. It's female at the cylinder end with pressure release coupling.
The feed line has s fitting where it converts into a hose (has the coiled end at the cylinder) it's male at the end. To release4 you have to pull the ring on there cylinder's coupling.

I got the hose off by just pulling. Tried to install new one, but couldn't get it on the master cylinder, and ended up destroying it. I had some old fuel line, and I got it on and it works fine. Is there any danger that brake fluid could damage this hose? I have a piece of this line soaking in brake fluid, and so far it's fine.

... will damage the fuel line in a few months.
It will react with any water molecules in the plastic and will make it inflexible and brittle quickly.
Keep an eye on it and replace it if needed.
