They where really not easy to deal with. But since I have the tool mentioned, the Adel Calmp Plyers, I begin to love them! REALLY!
I do them like this:
- Put them where you want them
- Use the Adel Clamp Plyers
- Put safety wire around them
- Cut the end and bend them over
So you can install your hose tube or what ever, take it apart, reinstall it. And then, when your installation is finished, then when the nut is engaged, then and only then, you can cut the safety wire and pull them out. Dont think how many times I had to redo the safety wire
But it really works without all the bad words and so on.
Also think about the installation of the breather tube. You start to bend here and there ... all is mouving around. With one of the fixing points done like this, you put the tube in and out and reach all the time the same position. Push a screw or dowel thru the hole in the clamps and master the bend.
Yes it takes time ... hey, but is is relaxing time ... it is hobby
Here a few pictures:
And dont even think about, not to cut and bent the ends ... you will pay with blood
... just dont ask
