The original clamps on the hoses ate the metal bands which are crimped on. Get them off with a pair of heave duty wire cutters. Turn the car on to pump the fluid out (I can't remember which is he return line). But put the return line in a bucket, and let it run out as you fill the reservoir (after plugging the open hold in the bottom of the reservoir). Keep doing so until the fluid is clear. To bleed the system, turn the weel lock to lock a few times after you fill the sys and hook it back up. Use normal hose clamps (screw-tight ones) to hook them up...it is what mechanics recommend.
