If your car is old and the rubber is beginning to dry out, using a
scredriver on the hoses doesn't tend to do them any favors....I always go
about it by sliding the hose clamp all the way out of the way and then
using a pair of slip-joint pliers to break the rubber loose from the filter
nipple and then wiggle it off using a twist-back-and-forth/pull
motion...don't forget there is a flare on the end of each nipple.
