swiftkid 1 Posted January 12, 2009 Quick question, anyone know what the correct name for the spring clips that hold the hoses on in the engine bay or better still know where to get the tool from or what the tool is called? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted January 12, 2009 there's a 'Laser' tool that is mentioned here for them old thread or similar from GSF? or a pair of mole grips, although they have a habit of slipping out of the jaws, especially in tight spaces Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Album56 0 Posted January 12, 2009 I think they're called constant pressure spring hose clips or something like that, I have used mole grips to remove clip/hose quiet successfully & I have re-used a couple without any problem. Mick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted January 12, 2009 i think someone on here gave me the tip of fitting a jubliee clip around the two prongs on the springy type clips and tighten that until clamp is loose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 12, 2009 Constant Tension clips - much better that worm drive of Jubilee's for water and fuel pipes! Tool can be got from Halfords made by Laser - peanuts on the trade card... You can also get a long reach tool as well which is pretty good according to Dinkus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
