Hi everyone. .anyone have a good method of removing the metal crimped clips off of hoses..picture below shows the small clips on the end of the convoluted hoses I need to remove...they are small but the plastic they are connected to ain't very strong.....

Dremel and abrasive cut off discs if you've got one?

Snip it with pincers, else just shove a small screwdriver blade down the crimped bit and open it back up.

You need one of these. The clips are re-usable, very common on fuel lines

That's what I was going to do..they are so small and fiddley that I will most probably brake the plastic.....but totally forgot about the dremel. ....

I have bought one of these but cannot for the like of me work out how you use it to remove a clamp. Fitting one looks straightforward.

Turn the pliers around, one way they crimp, the other way they remove the clip. There is an arrow on my pair for orientation.
