Okay, figured it out.
If other people want to try this, here is my super non mechanic write up:
To loosen the BMW crimp style hose clamp, just try find where that crimp is, and then use a long flat screw driver to pry the shit out of it. Or I guess you could find something to cut it with, which i didnt have a tool for. This took the longest as I hardly had any space.
For the other end with the plastic and metal pieces, when using the crescent wrench, press one end of the plastic tab towards the metal piece. Then I just used my other hand to press the other side of the plastic in so the entire plastic piece is now pressed in. Then I just pulled the entire hose out. The insert the new hose, you need to press the plastic piece in again. I just used the wrench to slide it in.

Also, what do I do with the crescent wrench on the end with the metal and plastic? I havent read anywhere on how I am supposed to loosen that?
Do I hold the plastic part so it stays and doesnt move, then press the entire thing in?
Someone who has done this please help me, I dont want to break anything
