Hose leaking under sink

Is there an easy way to get clamps off the hoses under sink since I have several leaks and not much room to work with?

What do you mean when saying you "siliconed every fitting"?

Why waste the cost of a Dremel wheel. A screwdriver will pop off a pex clamp and no danger of damaging pipe or fitting.

There are at least 20 YouTube video's showing how.

Worm clamps are terrible and are often the cause of leaks themselves, especially if used on hose.

Siliconed around (outer) fittings & Connectors-it worked for me. Sometimes us girls do what it takes to make it work.
