Question Normaclamp Cobra Hose Clamps
#1
#2
I like special tools as much as the next guy but not enough to splash out on the Norma tool.
Always used a pair of plumbers pipe grips like this to remove and refit the clamps.
Just squeeze the ends together and slide back along the hose. Safe and in control.
There's different opinions on sticking with the original or replacing with worm drive. I prefer the original which give the correct tension without risking crushing plastic components through over tightening.

In case your talking about the quick release clamps (I can never remember all the various names for these clamps) shown here, you can squeeze the outside "humps" on the clamp towards each other. It will spring open. If not a gentle tug up on the retaining clip with a small screwdriver while squeezing should do it.

I'd just get clamps from Autozone if your stuck, I'm not a huge fan of the ones with slots cut in the band.
Can't beat a good Brit Jubilee clip.
