While replacing the 4 heater hoses today I twisted off the head of the screw
on a old hose clamp. It was the last clamp to remove and everything had gone
fine up to there. Thankfully it's the clamp at the manifold coming off the
water pump so it is relatively easy to access. The clamp is one of the solid
ones with groves cut in it. It snapped off right away so the old hose is
still tight and not leaking. The hose is by far the best of the 4 old green
hoses, so if it was going to happen at least it was the right one. Any
suggestions on how to remove it?
