It 's a clamp with a spring per loaded spring torque is not the issue seal is .
Break it off cut it off what ever you have to do heat sometimes work but you have the boot to consider .
Other then that get a new clamp and clean all surfaces and tighten it untill you feel you have a good seal its not folding fluid in just road grime and dust out

SOURCE: How to remove heater hose fitting clamps

They have a special tool that has a clamp on a cable. Some auto parts will loan or rent out the tool. Some times you can rotate the clamp by putting pressure on one end of the clamp and rotating it to a different position BUT be careful because if you break the heater connection taking out the heater core will cost you

Testimonial: "This was the trick!!!! Bought it at Autozone for about $30. Worked great. Saved me $250 in a mechanic repair. Thanks."

SOURCE: 04 Columbia freightliner won't shut off w/

Would you not assume the ignition switch may have
worn out & possibly be a problem

It gets used a lot

Test it

If all power is turned off with that switch & you have a
diesel that keeps running, then you need a mechanic
that knows how to diagnose that issue

Worth to Fix freightliner columbia 2007?

This will depend on how important the vehicle is to you or your business. If you use it regularly for a business yes it is worth repairing. Note, If you decide to sell the vehicle and the vehicle is a 'Non Runner' it's resale value will be very low.
