I use a 7mm socket on a 1/4” ratchet for those clamps.
No matter how rusty, that’ll get it off and you can replace the clamp.
If we are talking about the coupling, IPD sells a nice silicone hose for that location. Highly recommend it.
If it’s the hose from the air box to the turbo, you’ll need a new plastic pipe.
Never heard of one failing, though...Current Fleet:

Yes, it is the airbox to turbo pipe and it just disintegrated (OEM part). Car has been sitting for a while, but I don't see how that should have made a difference. I've come to the conclusion that I'll get a Dremel with a flexible cutter end in there. The socket just spins on the clamp bolt, it is too rusty.

It is this pipe:
If deteriorated, just wiggle gently and pull after a spray of WD40.2001 V70XC +204k miles/ XeMODeX/ Pirelli 12/32"/ Duracell 48/ MOBIL-3309/ Pennzoil EURO 5W-40/ Great Lakes
