JamesG Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Oh dear, you're probably all going to laugh at me but... how do you remove the big clips that hold on the radiator hose? I tried levering it with a big screwdriver but no luck, and i came quite close to putting a hole in my hand. I tried pliers as well but that was worse. I think I need something that levers it up enough so I can slide the pipe off. James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Well unless your clamps are different from mine, you just squeeze the tab bits together with a pair of pliers and wiggle the clamp off down the hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I find it easiest to use a pair of long nosed pliers, sideways rather than straight on, if you see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I use pipe grips, you get more leverage and they normally have a large flat end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all, it was obvious once I read that James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
