This will release the pressure on the hose and allow you to work the clamp
off the end of the pipe it is on.

PLEASE do not attempt to work on your cooling system at all, if the engine
has been run recently, and is the slightest bit hot.  I know most of us
understand what can happen, but if one was not so experienced, and just dove
in there, after the Vanagon had been running steady for an hour, and tried
removing a cooling line, boiling coolant could explode everywhere.

I just wanted to mention this, as it is better to be safer with these
things, than sorry.
