Hose Clamp Question

[Websitesdown]

just pull it off the hard line (twist the coupler back and forth) and the clamp will come out easily afterwards - I did not have to loosen the clamp to get the hard line out and I don't use a clamp there anymore

Last time that's what I did and I think I created a small tare in the rubber piece that goes into the valve cover there. This time I backed it out using some needle pliers that I ordered from the back of the screw, then loosened it up more from the front with the needle nose.

That design really is crap to work around right there because everything is so tight right there. I don't think I messed anything up this time though.

I successfully used my screw removal pliers on the tail (back end) of the screw

it is my second most favorite tool after my bolt extractor, since I snap so many bolts...

That's two of you who've posted about those handy looking things now. That says something. Will definitely have to add those to my growing tool list.

I too have broken a few lately. I feel your pain.
