Tricks to Remove Exhaust "C" Spring Clamps????

<< < (2/2)

ORCoaster:
yepper, just need to get some sort of straight piece across the U shape to force the clamp apart.

fatmobile:
I think you are better off with a curved piece.
 Like the exhaust clamp has when you flip it.

zip1916:
There really isn't a good trick you can do. Removing them is easy, as you can just pry them off with a screw driver. Getting them back on is the hard part. Especially on the turbo side (assuming you have a turbo diesel). The OEM tool for the job costs about 14$ in my country, in my local tool shop. If would advise you to get it.

ORCoaster:
zip1916, I object, using a simple muffler clamp as an expander instead of a clamp is the best trick there is.  What's a clamp cost these days?  8 bucks?
