HOLY CRAP Thank You. I have been fighting with this sucker for 5 hours and only getting frustrated..found my old dremel and it's coming off in the morning
Yeah! Great thanks. But I'm sitting where the strap has compressed right into rubber, so isn't accessable. Can get socket onto stripped worm drive, have tried forcing underside of worm-housing out, no go. Oh, ok 😐, just cut strap at w-housing as it's above rubber. No Dremel, only have hacksaw blades. I'll try, after stripping & reassemble again X3. Here's hoping.
Thanks so much! This was a great idea and helped me with removing rusted hose clamps from my irrigation hoses. Now, I had to use the smallest wheel on my Dremel and be very careful...once I gently buzzed through the clamps they gave a little pop and I was on to the next one!
Glad to have helped. If you have the hand room, cutting them at a 45 degree angle will lessen the chance of cutting too deep into any of the rubber hose beneath the clamp.
My clamp is like yours, positioned the same way except on the gas tank. Its not leaking but a different problem. May try something similar with a drill and dremel cutter.
I have a factory clamp that is self-tensioning. I think it may be called a "ear clamp", not sure but you have to take pliers to squeeze the ears together and it loosens the tension. Only issue is that it is stuck and wont slide back into place on hose ( Radiator Hose) so it won't slide down to the where the radiator nosel is. The dremel tool ( or other rotary hand tools like it) is a great idea to get rid of that type of "ear clamp" nonsense and replace it with a Basic hose clamp you can just screw to tighten. Just be careful not to recklessly saw pass the clamp into the hose. Just saw into clamp little by little. The clamp with pop loose when you've succeeded. Just go easy. And you can stop and see the progress being made as many times as you want to know your getting close. So it's easy. Just be mindful of the hose and the surroundings in the spot around the area and you're good. To the UA-camr that uploaded , it would be great to do a demonstration of how to use a Dremel type tool and actually show the sawing of the metal clamp.
It looks like maybe one could use the open end of a wrench to get underneath that clamp and onto the head, IF there is even enough room to swing the wrench.
I've been struggling with a ear clamp on my inner tie rod. I even purchased the pliers intended for crimping them since that's what the new part came with as well. However, it's such a tight spot you can't fit anything in there. My long screwdriver/pry bars are too fat and you can't get to them horizontally to fit a dremel in there. I'm going to try my sawzall tomorrow with a 9inch cutting blade and see if that does the trick. Thanks for video anyway
Thats not a Ford style factory clamp... bet the car was in a past front end accident, and the body shop put the radiator in before the under pan... Maybe???
I'm charging up my sawzall as we speak. enough is enough. Clamp won't move even after greasing up with wd40 and is in a biatch of a place with chevy cobalt. Almost impossible to reach and I have little hands.

I defiantly need to invest in one of those, thanks for the tip.

Did it work?
Thanks. Mine are rusted on pool hoses. I’ll try a metal cutter
i use shear pincers, like regular pincers but have a 'tooth' proud of the cutting flat to grab under the clamp and slice it off
If only i had a dremel 😥
Me too 😂

Old Car Alley yup.
Or it's just a Ford lmao jkjk
I clicked on this just to find out I need a fuckinh dremel? That's the trick??
Up here rust is a common thing just learn to deal with it lmao demolition missions you should run up in upstate New York
Ran into that issue this morning

Nice thats a good idea thanks 🙂
"Secret trick"? Dremel has been around longer than this kids been alive....even with a 5 year old video. Good video for the newbs though.
No shit einstein really??? cutting the clamp isn't a secret
Pissy much?
@@DemolitionMissions You title the video as if it's some hidden method, I mean no shit of course taking rotary tool to it will solve the problem
😂😂😂
