Anybody have a source for a tool to release the one-time use clamps on the vacuum lines? I have about effing had it with using visegrips/channel locks/needle nose pliers, looking for an easy solution or whatever tool the dealer uses- TIA

 

either just pull it off with clamp attached or use a tiny flathead to lift the end

 

and then a larger one to pop it off. I can pull most of them off and then remove the clip when off. Text limit posting

 

yeah I can coax them off, I'm just looking for a crush and go solution to save time and reduce my frustration[:@]

 

If you're talking about removing the clamp on the right here V V V


My cutters are dull, I can get part way thru the clamp, and then I have to give it a twist. It usually breaks loose fairly easily from that.

 

What's that tool called? And where do you get it?
