AMG supercharger Hose Clamp removal
Does anyone know how to remove the hose clamps that are on the air intake hoses that run from the MAS manifold to the air filter boxes ?
I'm thinking of putting in K&N filters and was looking at the clamps. They obviously use a clamp removal tool, however, I figure there is a way to safely remove them and then use them again !?!?!?

Changing the air filters
on a C32 does not require loosening the hose clamps.After you split the air filter enclosure,just raise the cover up and to the rear until it is out of your way.The rubber hose remains attached.

Problem is that the K&N's require using a self adhesive rubber gasket which attaches to the top of the air cleaner assembly. In order to align and stick the gasket correctly, you need to flip the top assembly over/upside down.
