Yes, that clamp is a tough one to get on, isn't it? I wound up using several extensions on my ratchet, and used a 5/16 " socket to go from the top. I tried tightening the clamp from the bottom, but that didn't work because I couldn't get a good angle with either a screw driver or the socket.

In the fututre, when removing hoses, try just taking a utility knife and cutting a slit in the end of the hose. This usually lossens the hose just enough that it will slide off with little effort.
