Not something you use a lot....I used it once....but sometimes it's that special tool that makes the difference between a 10 minute job and one that takes 4 hours....or a bunch of colorful adjectives followed by a drive to the indy shop.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What is best tool to grasp radiator hose clamp in order to remove the lower front radiator hose? One or two of the clamps are pretty far in there. Is it like a long needle nose? Thanks. Regards,

POST 2Original post

You want to use a hose clamp plier when dealing with those clamps. Something from this page will probably do the job: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/search_10...+plier&x=0&y=0

POST 4Original post

+1 the red one on the 3rd row for $39.99 looks like the right one..... no no no Redridge..... I need one of these !! haha

POST 5Original post

Quotes source post: 6428478

I like that one too... but for eg: the AOS bellows, since it hold the clamps horizontal.... hopefully it fits it the tight space.

POST 7Original post

That red one for $39 is the same one they use to get to the diverter valve clamps on the TT. For some reason, Porsche always clocks the clamp nubs on the backside of the hose away from you, and there's no space to get your hands in there....and this is one of the few tools that can get behind there to open the clamp. Not something you use a lot....I used it once....but sometimes it's that special tool that makes the difference between a 10 minute job and one that takes 4 hours....or a bunch of colorful adjectives followed by a drive to the indy shop.

POST 8Original post

I think all of the clamps rotate if you push on the right side and the right dirrection... but I had my hour (plus) fight with one followed by replacing with a screw type clamp... the red one looks like a winner!!

POST 9Original post

+3 on the red one. I have that model and it makes getting the clamps off a snap. It also works great for the coolant tank clamps.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
