Here's a little trick to remove the hose clamps with the spring clamp tool.

When you have the top in service mode first look into bay with flashlight to validate where the hose clamps are located and rotation of the clamp to attach spring tool to.

Then hold the spring end of tool with left hand, cable with right hand (handle of tool will lay down in easy reach) and face towards front of car, reach behind you with left arm into engine bay to attach tool to clamp.

You might first try without using the tool to get a feel of where the tube and clamp are by sense of feel.

Also a long sleeve heavy cotton shirt will help avoid the little nicks.

Good Luck
