Alright - enough is enough for me! Is there a tool specially for those stock
hose clamps - you know the type you squeeze together? If so what is it
called and where do I get one?

I've had enough of trying to remove/install those clamps with vice grips,
etc.

I thought I had seen a post about this quite a while ago but I'll be darned
if I can find it.

I was working on completeing the heater hose replacement on Gertie yesterday
(finally) and those darn clamps are a pain - but I like that they do a good
job so I try to reuse them whenever possible. Got everything buttoned up and
discovered that the front heater valve leaks like a seive - crud. I bypassed
it for now - was nice to have heat fromt he back heater ont he ride to work
this morning.
