Chris -
I cleaned my 185 EGR some time ago and unlike the earlier models they do need to be removed entirely to get access.
I also struggled with that clamp as it is not obvious how it works, and finally googled for images. Once you see one open it is obvious how to release it.
If your is like mine this should help

As I remember I had to unscrew the jubilee worm completely, then prise the jubilee band out a bit (it never gets 'loose', just not as tight), then prise the inner sections apart with a flat blade screwdriver. They are welded to the inside of the jubilee band.
Good luck
