Default oil cooler water supply line replacement

On my 2001 A6 2.7T I'm having difficulties accessing the top spring clamp for the coolant hose that goes to the oil cooler. Should I be looking into the spring pliers with the 45 degree bend to access? The power steering tube is just in front of the clamp making it hard to access.

If I remember correctly, I moved the power steering cooling tube out of the way to access that hose clamp. I replaced the spring type clamp with a worm gear clamp and have had no problem since
