Yep, I am saving the bellows part for last after the bolts are out to just yank it. I have the new clam provided with an attached clamp as part of the whole package from Pelican! The upper hose to throttle body was messed up too.

This makes the spring clamp removal/installation much easier:

As for the "squeeze" clamp you need to squeeze and wiggle with quite a bit of force/pull to get those loose.
