So, how do you get the hose clamps off and on for a VW? I have a 91 Jetta TD. Specifically the ones found on the fuel filter. Are they reusable?

They look serious, like some big ugly dude put them on with his teeth! What ever happened to spring connectors that can be taken off with simple pliers!?

That would probably be a good solution. :)
