Urgent help needed, intake install.
« on: February 18, 2015, 11:15:22 am »
Currently in process of installing the Ramair intake and came to a problem.
How the f*ck do you remove the turbo inlet hose!?

I can barely get my hands anywhere near the spring clamp, how can I get round this?
Is there a trick I'm missing here?

Any help massively appreciated I'm struggling here!

Long nose pliers

Some can be abit of a pain depending on what angle they are clamped

I used these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400840091779?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

It is doable but  still was a pain to get it off. Some right angle long pliers might be better.

The other more expensive alternative = http://www.amazon.co.uk/BERGEN-Reach-Clamp-Pliers-BER1730/dp/B00QFLXZ5U

I just used a decent pair or grips, and a few choice swear words and it came off, albeit, it did play the hard ball card!

Got some long nose pliers earlier which hopefully will sort it with a bit of elbow grease aswell.
Is there anything I can damage being to heavy handed?
