I've never seen the style of clamps that are on the return hose. And they don't unscrew. Anyone?

I also tried searching and couldn't find anything other than topics of people replacing the pump.

Probably a pinch style. Pinch the tabs with pliers and slide over. If the isn't the case, snap a pic so we know what you're dealing with.

If they're crimp style, cut em off and replace with standard worm screw style

I believe they're the crimp style, as they go around and have like a pinched in looking spot. Yea i plan on replacing them with the worm screw style clamps, as i got new hoses for when i replaced the pump and pulley.
