I didnt have to deal with stuck clamps on the old hose, just cut the old one off then, and put the new one on.

I put the open clamps on the ends of the rails before putting the hose on, and then slipped them back on. I would say the hardest thing is putting the new hose on - dont hesitate to lubricate it well and impart some twisting motion with needle nose pliers. They say not to twist or bend a rubber fuel hose when installing but in this application it is impossible not to bend it - the rail ends are too close to each other!

The whole operation is tight, but really not that bad. I also got dailifoil from nissan which lubricates and then seals the hose - no leaks at all since I did it to about 4 hoses
