How often will you need hose clamp pliers? In other words, how many dedicated tools do you want to own? For an easily accessible clamp the smaller one piece clamps are much easier to use. If that same clamp is in a hard to reach place, you will quickly learn to love the cable version. If you work on these cars a lot, you probably want one of each.
The hose will come off pretty easily and I never had to use any tool once my pliers were hanging on the metal clips. The fuel filter change video on this site shows the use of a special tool for the metal clip, and I was wondering if its really necessary...

I use brake hose clamps on all the cars I change brakes on UNLESS it's a really old car and the brake hoses are briddle. I wouldn't recommend using pliers to clamp the hoses(go for it if you want) but their are actual clamp tools they make specifically for pinching brake hoses. I would think that using pliers to pinch the hoses may damage the hose.
Using the new hose clamp tool I was able to get both hoses off the firewall quick couplers. Flushed with the garden hose. Nothing but coolant came out. So then I hooked hoses up and ran them up to the top of the engine. You need 3/4" ID hoses. Poured in CLR and let it sit in the core while I ate lunch. Then flushed with the hose again.
Hose clamp "pliers" - found them So, where does one pick up a tool to squeeze the large hose clamps? A large pair of needle nose will work but it is an accident waiting to happen. Isn't there a pair of pliers that have a flat piece at the end to grip the clamp?? Canadian Tire doesn't carry...
From eBay for $18 to the door, I got remote hose clamp tool. Then a trip to Harbor Freight to get some hose "pinch" clamps that are supposed to be excellent ($9). I also got some work gloves, hose pick tool, hose removal tool to grab the hose and a set of three Long Reach Hose Grip Pliers for $14. If I don't need any of these HF tools, I won't ...
*Loosen hose clamp and remove fuel return line at high pressure pump. (The hose pliers came in handy on this hose, it would not budge any other way). *Cover open fuel lines and ports. *Remove connectors for the Fuel Temp Sensor and what I believe is the Fuel Metering Valve. Step 9: *Detach throttle valve control module connector.
you need the sensor, Torx bits and triple square bits, and some good hose clamp pliers. a mirror helps identify which fastener is where. and a flashlight helps too. careful with the electric connector, it is easy to get frustrated and break it. push the connector in, release the tab, then it should pop right out.
In order to salvage all of the thin sleeves, you would need to remove the PSF suction hose and pull the 2 hoses in tandem and remove the sleeves while outside of the car. It seemed messy and might compromise the integrity of the old PSF hose at the connection points. The PSF hose is expensive and like the coolant hose is a special order item.
