What kind of hose clamps are on there? mine has banded worm drive clamps on the silicon hoses and standard worm drive on all of the radiator hoses.

Is it a Corbin Clamp?

If it is something special then K&D or Lisle would make one.

Here are some different pliers you can use to remove the hose clamps.

Pliers as simple as these,

To a pair of ratcheting adjustable jaw hose clamp pliers like these, and these are from Sears.
