Bowden Tube Removal

What is the right way to remove a Bowden tube from the hot end. I think the filament should be heated and retracted. Then the hot end should be allowed to cool and then the tube can be pulled out. Is this correct?
Thanks.

Thanks, Cup. I know how to pull out the tube. My question regards whether and when to heat or cool the filament to free up the tube and also prevent clogging the nozzle.
