If they are the spring loaded type, use a pair of pliers. You'll just need to move the clamps down the hose and off of the inlet it is connected to.What could be wrong with my car?
As I said in your other question, get the hose clamp pliers from sears. They are made to remove the wire type hose clamps. They are difficult to remove with regular pliers, but sometimes you can just cut them, with wire pliers.Should brakes in a Honda Civic wear out with somehow low mileage?
The only other clamp i can think if is the squeeze type clamps where you would need a Pliers or something to squeeze the tabs together to make it loose.It would be circular obviously but on one end there would be a split at the end with two tabs sticking up and on the other end it would be just one tab sticking up. Grab a pliers, squeeze them together and it will make the ring larger so that you can remove the hose.

OK get a decent size of channel locks and make sure you have a good grip, pinch the two tabs on the radiator clamp completely touching or as best as you can, then without letting go gently slip/wiggle/or slide that clamp away from the radiator. You let go as soon as the clamp is off the radiator neck (2-3 inches) so the hose may slip free of it. If no channel locks or pliers are available try (but not recommended) using a flat head screw driver, insert into the side of the tab on the clamp, and pry in a fashion that you can wedge the screw driver over the other tab just enough to loosen the clamp.I need to know where to look for to buy a honda emblem for my acura rsx steering wheel?
There are a number of different style radiator hose clamps. Some can be removed with a straight screwdriver, while others must be cut off and replaced. It would probably be best to take your vehicle to a dealer (possibly the one who sold you the car) or a reputable auto repair shop and have them do the work for you. This is definitely the best alternative if you aren't mechanically inclined. Good luck, whichever way you decide to go!More Questions & Answers ...
