Does anyone have experience removing and replacing the attached hose clamp shown below. This type of clamp is not shown in the Bentley Service Manual or the one from Pelican. Was getting ready to flush coolant system and never saw this type of clamp for the radiator hose.  Is it easy to remove and replace?

These catch everyone out, the hose has a metal end on it with an O-ring, and the wire device is holding together  as a locking system:

Thank you. Picture is worth a thousand words.  

 

Is it ok to reconnect without replacing O ring when flushing system? 

 

As long as the O-ring is in good shape, you should not have to replace it.  You should lightly lubricate it with some coolant or some silicone when reconnecting the hose to prevent chaffing it.
