My Chevy trucks from like 2003 to 2018 have coolant clamps with like a locking mechanism if your able to max it out in the correct direction. Easier said than done. Plus your in a spot like that and it feels like a mouse trap time bomb about to take a chunk of flesh from your hand when bumped and released
This is a good ass tip. Everyone talking about using some special pliers, etc is sour grapes or inexperienced. Anyone who has done enough of this sort or thing know what a fuckin pain in the ass it is to simultaneously compress that clamp, have the clamp properly oriented to get the hose and clamping tool down the hole, then hold all that shit together while you wiggle/rotate the hose to get it seated. I'd pay a dollar to not have the hassle every time I encounter this, a 5 cent zip tie can get fucked.
Bro. ... Fella, dude, my guy, brother, ah hell, I don't know what to call my fellow man anymore. I digress... As a fella that has worked on and built tons of cars,.......That..... Is using your noddle. Great tip!. Thanks for the share
Why? I have worked on many cars and ive figured out ways around things that have seemed impossible, but why have i never thought of this ???? Lol i will definitely remember this one!
nah, then you gotta dick around manipulating those into that hole withoutem popping off while your wiggling the hose to get it seated. Just give the guy his credit, it's a good ass tip.
@@blaphtome9382 shut the fk up , pick your angle and lock them up to drop it over the hose . Place hose over the mount and with two fingers release the lock . Presto it’s done ! No fking gimmick zip tie ! What can’t you use vice grips like a normal person
@@blaphtome9382 try learning how to use locking grip’s properly and you don’t have a problem , idiots who can’t use tools have problems. Do you need a video to know how to do it ? And stop removing comments ya tit
Yeah clamp down the two tabs with about 5Lb jaw pressure with vice grips , drop it down and look at the angle you need . Pull it out and release the lock slightly and move clamp to the angle and lock it up . Drop down and place over hose then mount , press to open the lock and job done . If people struggle with movement of the clamp in vice grips then your not using enough jaw pressure to stop it moving about . Once you clamp the two tabs together it should be hard to move , I really don’t understand how people can get something so friggin easy so wrong . If you haven’t got the intelligence to operate vice grips then you shouldn’t be tinkering with motors
@@pauldean8638 bullshit, vice grips don't even have that much travel before locking, so if you want to do that now you gotta get another set of pliers or use some other method to partially compress so you can then get the vice grips tight on the tabs and you still have the hassle of putting another item down a tight spot and have both hands tied up when you could have just used the zip tie. I rebuilt my first engine in the mid 90's, it's not a matter of not being able to do it your way, it's a matter of not being too old and stubborn to recognize and take on an obviously better method.
If its clamping plastic or rubber parts dont use a bbq lighter especially if its part of an air intake, in alot of cars they're pretty thin plastic
😆😆😆 "How to make a hand grenade" Perfect title!
Just buy cable clamp pliers
ill try and remember for any other pinch rings. solid plan , great execution.
Oh great a hand grenade. 😂😂😂
Cool trick but I’ll use my hose clamp pliers. Good to know incase I ever loose them or they break though. 👍🏼
There are cable style pliers mad just for this and they are actually very inexpensive
Looks like a diesel with that oily miss everywhere
JUST GET RID OF THAT CLAMP AND USE A REGULAR STAINLESS PIPE CLAMP ! TIGHTEN WITH NUT DRIVER
Buddy, thanks from holland.
Zip ties constantly saving the day!!
Remember the days before these existed?

Ps don't ever recommend flame to an engine. Haha alot of these peopke take advantage of the hot liquid warnings on coffee
The clamp in the video has the lock on it too, I think most of them do for reasons like this
The lock that decides on its own when to stop locking 😂 I'm good

@@Stickerslapper thanks for enjoying the vid! Like and sub buddy pal friend haha
Ur funny. Pass lol

Clever
You could have put the zip tie through the holes. It’s no different.
Or buy cheap as chips clamp pliers
Or you could just buy the correct pliers for it. I have a pair myself
Oh that's some skills right there🤛🫡
@@dmo848 thanks!
Noooice!
BBQ lighter.... NO! Dikes or side cutters... YES!
Most of us put the clamp in place above the connection then slide it down .
Or for twenty bucks you can by the tool made for that clamp.
ok, how about just taking out the whole plastic tube and installing in the outside..?????
Nice
Buddy, thanks for Holland
Can you use a cigarette lighter
Brilliant idea I hate those fuckin things
Before you put things back together, clean it first 😢😮
@@user-pocoloco she does need a bath
Those clips go in the garbage.
Use locking grips to pinch and lock , no stupid zip tie needed
