Hose clip

[wijcc]

A quick stupid question, how do you take off/loosen these types of hose clips without breaking or damaging them please?




Thanks guys.

Flat screwdriver in there:

But you won't be able to reuse them.

You need some cream on that Pilsbury!!

They look like crimped clips so not reusable. You could replace with jubilee clips afterwards if you want them to be reusable in future. Or you can get spring ones if they are small enough.

Ooops.... looks like my little drawing fell foul of decency. Probably best I don’t replicate to avoid being sent to the sin bin

Such a bad ass!!

I'm guessing the manu' does not want you to tamper with those clips perhaps?

These are called Clic clips - well used in the motor trade and cause less distortion than jubilee clips and take up less space too.
There are special pliers to set and upset these clips .....I got mine from Cromwell tools and they are made by Kennedy.
