do you know the tool that undoes these fasteners

Hi
The clips are used for fastening hoses on a spider to a male fitting.
Eg radiator hose clip and 10mm rubber hose.
With the radiator clip, how is it undone.
Also for both clips i dont want to use any pliers, but the correct tool. Also where the tool can be bought.
cheers CC

It's not a Clic Clip Tool.

You'll be amused to know eLearn simply says to remove the rubber hose.

And the replacement hose clamp by part diagrams/numbers, is a worm driven unit. 71714115 is the big one.

Are they the pinch type hose clamp? If so, I remove them with a flat screw driver in between the two layers of the clamp and lever until the little pins pop out. I have never reused them because I find them a massive pain in the ... and always replace them with screw type ones as they are much easier to remove/reuse.

But, there is a specific tools listed online that may do the trick.

They're Clic Clips in your post above this one.

No, these are a single use hose clamp and have to be destroyed to get them off. Replace with standard hose clamp of the correct size.

Caillau "VISA E" clamps, I believe.

And no luck finding tracteur collier visa, or outils colliers visa.

OP: When you get to the heater-firewall hoses, best to have a set of hose picks ready. It will save hours of swearing. Toledo make a pair for $20-ish sold at Repco, Autobarn etc.

I was thinking of the Knipex ones... as you were (rule34)

I did some work on a Porsche 996 recently and it was fitted with constant tension hose clamps throughout.

They initially frustrated me until I found the proper tool on Amazon with a long cable to get into tight spots.

I'm now a big fan, and have replaced a few clamps on my 164 with this type
