#118855, "Hose Clamp Removal" Jun-21-07 07:32 PM by Shadow2877
Hey everyone,
Today as I was driving I began seeing smoke come out of the hood of my car, I figured "F*** not another problem!" I look under the hood and find to my suprise its only one of the hoses connect to my power steering pump leaking (The one I have been looking for) and some of the fluids were landing on my manifold and engine. After I was relieved that it was only a hose I reached another problem I can't seem to get the hose off the car. I figure I would just replace it with a standard hose and some of those screw clips from autozone, but its one of those hoses that are clamped on from the factory. Here are some pics:

An example hose with another clamp:
Anyone know the best way to remove these, possibbly just squeezing hard enough with a pair of plyers?
Thanks, -Cody

You have to find out where the threaded ends are. usually at the pump and gearbox and unscrew them. then you get the whole hose assembly.
