I understand. Those factory clamps are a bitch, you have to use pliers tot get them off, instead of a screwdriver like aftermarket clamps. If I remember, it wasn't that easy for me either, the first time, I had to work the hose back and forth before it came off. But I've had bad experiences with the plastic drain petcocks the newer vehicles have, they use a rubber O-ring, which often breaks when you try to open it. Thats why I switched to removing the lower hose. Older vehicles, which I am more used to working on, had a brass/metal drain petcock, which didn't have rubber O-rings that failed.
