[Radar78]

Any tips on these. Fuel return lines on my old 4020. So frustrating. Is there such a thing as a hose clamp
Pliers?

Ive seen welding vise grips that have little flat bars welded on the jaws that would work.

There's special pliers for newer hose clamps like that, not sure if it would fit those but probably would. Those things are a nightmare otherwise.

They used to make pliers for those. I remember my dad had a pair of them.

Go in from the top with a bent set of needle nose pliers.

Generally in that case it's an excuse to go out and get a new tool.

Just don't give your wife the same advice, you might not like the results...

Find a old pair of pliers. Grind a slot vertical on each face in the center a few mm deep.

they put them on the older sleds rad hoses in the tightest spots needle nose vise grips work

This is exactly correct…. There was a special set of pliers for these, but everyone at the JD shop I worked at just used an old set with the grooves cut in them

I have these ones. They work well and they lock so you're not trying to squeeze and maneuver at the same time.
