Get pliers and a flathead screwdriver and prise the f**k*r off. They are a pain in the arse, then just use a jubilee clip

you can pop them open with a small flat screwdriver but you need a set of sharp pincers to close them again.

Just didn't want to break the hose connection or the clamp as I don't have any spares  :whistle:
