I was trying to do the first ever power steering flush for my 05 G35 coupe i just hit 53k miles so its due, i was struggling with getting the hose clamp off my return line loose after messing with for so long it bent and then broke off at the prongs where you clamp it open, these OEM clamps are super strong and i cant really break it off either, im trying to decide whether i should take a dremel to it and buzz it off or try to snap it somehow 🤷*♂️ Help please!!! The clamp is holding and not leaking but i dont trust it forever and and i dont wanna rip my hose either lmk what i should do!

 

Use a screwdriver and a pair of pliars and bend it open, mangle if you have to, side cutter dikes can just cut it off. Then replace with another of that style or a worm drive screw clamp.

For the future it's pretty easy to just drain/fill the reservoir a couple times in a row with a turkey baster to do a fluid change. I just do it with my oil changes.

 

I would use a blowtorch.
