CLIC© Hose Clamp Pliers - Usage
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
When CLIC© style clamps are used in the cooling system, use Special Tool (special tool #10288, Pliers, Hose Clamp) or equivalent, for proper installation and removal of the clamps.
Installation of the hose clamp requires the flat blade of the pliers to rest against the latch lock side of the clamp. The notched end of the pliers will be positioned on the protruded guide on the latch side. Squeeze the pliers until a CLICK sound is heard.
Removal of the hose clamp requires the notched end of the pliers to rest against the latch side of the clamp. Squeezing the pliers will cause the hook of the latch lock to ride up the beveled edging of the notched side, releasing itself from the lock.
