If I didn't have to put on the new hoods, I'd have left the levers on the bar, but I'm definitely not taking the levers off the clamps!
I'm using old Shimano clamps (bolt is part of the clamp, like you describe) with Suntour Superbe levers. It worked really well for me to separate the clamp and lever. However, I also have a couple of different 8mm socket tools that will get the job done easily. Do what works for you, man
