Turbo Clamp Removal Tricks

I'm in the process of revamping my exhaust and am working on removing the clamp between the turbo and up pipe. Are there any special tricks or tools in removing it?

As you loosen the clamp, use a flat head screw driver to pry up on the clamp. Should pop off fairly easy. You can use penetrating oil if need be. I didn't need too.

Got it, a little WD 40 and a screw driver popped it off. Thanks

Well that was non-climactic. Maybe I should throw in some double entendre:

"What's the best way to remove the turbo clamp?"

"Shoot it and screw it."
