Unhappy AOS Frustration

Good morning!


2002 Boxter S with 90k miles has a really bad AOS that I am in the process of replacing. Big problem for me is releasing the clamp on the outside of the AOS. Yes, it is in a really bad place to get to but it seems as thought that "squeeze" clamp is just not willing to release. I am very very careful not to do anything that could break that fragile clamp. I am not even concerned at thi point about the clamp at the bottom of the bellows until this issue is solved.


I do understand that this repair is a huge pain but are there any really good approaches to it? I have spent a lot of time on YouTube and any internet resources figuring it out but yes, it is all the same. No one talks about the clamp issue.


Thank you for any time and attention to my challenge here.


Kurt
