This may be stupid, But HELP!

I have a leaking connecting sleeve. How do you get it off the hose. It looks like the hose clamp is crimped. Other than cutting it off is there another way to get it off.

most of the hose clamps on the LT are "one time use" so once it is removed you need to put a new one on.

[wanblee2]

Yeah, but do you cut it off or do you cut the hose. I have all the parts and a regular hose clamp.

[JATownsend]

Just cut the clamp!

[wanblee2]

Thanks, I did not want to screw it up. I did not see any other way.

If you have an awl, you can work that into the top of the clamp to loosen it. Small screwdriver also.

They are very soft so I just file one of the "ears" off by hand
