Default WTF!!!!!

ok, i have had my n75h for about an hour now and i still can not find a way to get off the oem clamps on the old n75. i have tried a screwdriver, prying it off and everything else. the space is so cramped and the clamps are backwards so i can not get them off.

Please help!!!

Try a pair of wire snippers or something like that to just cut them off.

Something like the pic below. But the tab theat's bent is sideways instead. Once you straighten it a bit, use a pair of pliers to twist and yank the F'er off.

you need the tiny flathead screwdriver. the ones that people would use on eyeglasses and stereo equipment. You pry the tip up and then use a regular flathead and pry it up the rest of the way.

Put one part of the pliers on the tab at point B and put the other half on the opposite edge of A. Then squeeze. Be careful to not pinch your hand if the pliers slip. Cause it sucks.

Another thing you can do is grip the pinched bulging point and pull on it intil is straightens out a bit, then pull the hose off.

Tin snips, and lube up the hoses so it may be possible to twist the clamps around to get at a good angle.
