PN is 996-106-226-52 for anyone who needs this in the future. Took about 20min to change being really careful not to break the new one.

Hi, how do i remove the single use clamps?
I have seen people upgrade to metal connectors such as Edelmann 750400 and the one i am going for is Husky Brass connector from Home Depot ... Model # HDA40700AV

I would just take some cutters and clip the head off, that should loosen it enough for it to slide out.

Or use a screwdriver to pry the ear of the clamp and spread it a bit. Once spread, the clamp will lose its tension and will be easy to remove. The stainless steel clamp can be difficult to cut.

Thanks guys. I used some cutters to lop the top off and then peeled off the top layer and slid the bottom layer off. I'm using screw clamps at the moment but I had the original single clamps delivered from Porsche. Now the reverse question, how do I clamp it on? I might stop by dealer and ask them.

The proper tool is this one

You can probably get away using something similar.
