Are you talking about the crimped fuel clamps? I just use Side Cutters. High End ones with longer handles.
You can reinstall the stock looking ones if you desire using CV boot clamp pliers.

I use a Dremmel tool with a flat grinding wheel. Tim

I have used this method also, but if you do, cover everything with damp rags and and be extremely careful. A spark off of the wheel can ignite fuel vapors and cause a lot of headaches.

I use dykes as well. Attack the clamp on that little hump in it, so as to have a little more work room

I've always used a torch, but I'm getting tired of calling the fire dept. and having my bikes repainted[sm=jawdrop.gif]
