I've no experience with V bands so no idea how to get it off.

On my v band you van replace the bolt, it looks to be fixed on yours. Time for a new v clamp me thinks.

Just bend the clamp open to get it off.

I doubt the cost much but if stuck you can post it to me and I can mig weld the bolt back together, not sure how effective it would be though
