trouble with intake install

ok i feel like an idiot. I am having trouble loosening the clamp that holds the mass air sensor onto the black rubber intake hose. im installing a buschur intake.
Ive removed the air box/filter, disconected the battery. I can reach the bolt (only just) that clamps the hose but it appears i need something to hold the other end from turning it. Its not a nut ont the other end so i have nothing to grip/hold it with. does that make any sense?

you can see the back side of the clamp in the pic

Disconnect the Mas from the rubber intake hose. Then you once the mas is off you can just take it inside and take off the bolts from the intake box.

It might help if you mentioned what intake it is.

just installed the Buschur intake on my evo 8 a few days ago. it took me awhile to figure the "L" bracket out too. long end of the bracket attaches to frame rail and the short end fits the bottom nut on the backside of where you attached the maf to the filter bracket.

love the throttle response!
