HELP!!!!! ASAP Water Pump removal - hose clamp issues

we are working on removing the water pump. How in the H*** do you remove that stupid hose clamp that is plastic and connects to the radiator and the water pump. It has a metal hog type ring on it. I can not get it to come off for the life of me. Anyone got an advise. The ring is all the way off but the stupid plastic intermediate connector will not budge.

thanks

also any other tips and advise is welcomed. have the fan off, and a few other things removed. down to the last of it seems like.

Just pull the metal clip to the next stop (don't need to completely remove it) and then you have to carefully rock and pull HARD on the hose to free it.

I too had problems taking that one off, so I fiddled with the connection at the thermostat until it came off. never did get the connection at the radiator to come off.
