Any good tricks to getting the clamps off of the BPV?

not really...
just keep working at it. Take off all intake tubing for easy access, and remove the breather valve above the bpv for more access too. I was able to slip one or two of the hoses off the valve w/out removing the clamp- then slide the clamp off after you pull the hose off. They are a bitch. I would definitely recommend using some basic screw-clamps when re-installing, for easier removal next time.

A skinny flat head screw driver.
Just slide it between the part of the clamp/strap that has the 3 small tabs on it. Pry that upward enough to then grab it with a needle nose plier and then just pull it upward and it will pop loose from the 3 tabs.

The small one on the top is the vac line.
All you do is put something on it and use the bpv lip to pry it up off the nipple or even a better way is to just cut the vac line just above the small clamp.
