If they're hose clamps with screws on them, just loosen the screws to the point where the clamp slides to the other end of the hose and twist and wiggle the hose off.
If they're rings around the hose with no screw that you can tighten or loosen, just cut the metal ring and pry it off. Then twist and wiggle the hose off as above. --DD |

To remove the factory crimp clamps on the fuel hoses:
The factory clamps are crimped onto the hoses for the injector. You need to cut them to remove them. The injector has a barbed fitting to accept the new hose, use a fuel injection rated hose clamp (ie not the ones with the serrated 'teeth) The correct replacement clamps have a solid band of metal in contact with the hose, and will not tear the hose nor lossen. To remove the factory climped clamp, put the injector in a vice (on metal surfaces only, the plastic is brittle, and can crack, causing leaks) I have used a hacksaw and / or a tin snips to cut away at the crimp clamp. Just cut the clamp down to its base, and then around it. You then should be able to pull off the old hose, and remaining bits of the factory clamp with no problems. Good luck |

Here's a great excuse to get a Dremmel tool. I used a diamond cutoff wheel in mine when I cut the metal a few years ago. Just be careful when slicing.
