It's part of the Crankcase Ventilation System. It's nothing more than a supply of fresh air to the inside of your engine. Be sure to put it back on when your done, dont put a breather on there unless you use some type of catch can setup.

use a wrench, squeeze it tight and twist it while you squeeze,

wait are you talking about a hose clamp?

there are two prongs on the clamp use a pair of pliers and squeeze the prongs together, twist it as you squeeze

Use plyers or even a vice grip. Just squeeze them and slide the clamp a good 2 inches away.
