95 SLE What tool to undo heater hose clamps on core?
Can someone post a picture or a part number or a source of supply for the hose clamp pliers that will work to remove those two spring clamps on the heater hoses where they attach to the core on a '95 SLE?
I would prefer to remove the hoses without removing the entire heater assembly from the car!
Thanks.

Here'* what GM recommends. Called a MUBEA hose clamp tool. NAPA says $100 for a similar cable-type tool. Must be a cheaper, easier way?

Snap- On man says Mayhew is the best but I would like to try the Lisle and see how they work.

Well, yeah, MOS, that'* good, that'* good, but you just weren't quick enough! I already bought the Mayhew tool. Cost me $74 from the MAC tool man in DesMoines, but the clamps were off in about 3 minutes. Thanks, Ron for the good advice. It works slicker than snot on a doorknob.
Dang, think of the money I could have saved if I had gone with MOS'* plan!
