ZFS zfs: how to clear an unavailable pool?

[mrjayviper]

setup: an 8x6TB raidz1 pool

I want to delete/clear/remove a pool label from my disks (which might be best explained with an example). The sample below is similar for da1 to da8

# zdb -l /dev/da1
-snip-
name: mypool
pool_guid: 157xxxxxxxxxxx
-snip-

# zdb -l /dev/da1p1
-snip-
name: my-pool
pool_guid: 132xxxxxxxxxxx
-snip-

I want to delete "mypool" (pool_guid:157xxxxxxxxx) label from my disks. How can I do it without destroying the pool?

If I try to import "mypool", I can some sort of error which I don't get when I import "my-pool".

Thanks
