The clamp on my aos was at weird angle where I could not even fit the cable operated pliers. The clamp on engine side for that small hose was so close to engine that there was no space for even a flat screwdriver. I used pliers to move the angle of the clamp on engine side than use small pliers and I was able to remove AOS with the small hose. I got a new hose, put that on the aos first with clamp in the right angle and slide the assembly on to the engine. The throttle body and intake distributor was cleaned and cars works great.
