Default Bypass valve replacement/installation question

Ok, I removed the skid plate and see the bypass valve. I have no idea how to get these one time use clamps off of the hoses without numerous expletives and extensive reefing. Is there a trick to getting them off easily? The green arrowed clamp is no problem, it has a screw. The red arrow???

Also, what kind of clamp can I use of the vacuum hose? Can I reuse the same one use clamp if I don't destroy it while removing it from the current bypass valve?

Bonus points to the person who can tell me what that green and pink thing is in photo#2.

Andy.

Default Either get a screwdriver under the tab and pry it open, or cut it. Replace with similar clamp like

your other one.

Default Ok, I got one of the clamps off, but the hose is really stuck to the valve. I don't want to rip

anything 'cuase then I'll be really screwed. Any pointers, anybody?

Ok, got the stock one off and Forge on. Twisting the rubber hoses makes them come off easier.
