tool to remove hose clamps

[edward7048]

Has anyone found a good tool to remove the hose clamps on the cyc.
coolant hoses, I thought that I had a good remote controlled one but
found that the jaws did not open wide enough, is there any good hoses
that do not have to be replaced every 5 years?

Just go to Amazon and search on ?hose clamp pliers?. Used one of the cable operated ones. Don?t know how I would have done the installation without it.

At my first coolant hose change I replaced as many of the hose clamps as could with screw type. There were a few where I had to reuse the spring type due to accessibility issues. I know why spring type are used, but the screw type have proved themselves to be trouble free 2 1/2 years and 300 hours.
