You can cut them off or pry them off with a screwdriver under the leftover band section... I bought my tool and a lot of the clamps from Canniboomer. He has them packaged and ready to go. I don't like hose clamps, as these are much cleaner looking. They are not reuseable though, which is their downside.

The easiest, least damaging way to get them off is to take a pair of needlenose pliers and straighten up the 2 little tabs that are bent over holding the clamp together. A quick squeeze on each of them (plier tips on the side of the clamp and on one tab)and a screwdriver to pop the band off the straightened up tabs and it's apart.

That is actually what I did. I have spoken with Boomer and I'm gonna get the Oetiker tool when I'm ready to reinstall in a couple weeks.

I'm just tired of throwing money at this thing. I guess I should get used to it.
LOL!! I'd be willing to bet EVERY Cannondale owner has made that statement at least once!!! ROFL!
Wait.....now I own two of them...
