Oetiker low profile clamp tool

[1970_mgb]

Can these clamps be installed without the special tool(s)?
I was quoted something like $150 from the dealer for the seadoo tool PN 295000001.!!! I am having a tough time finding a alternate supplier although its a tool made by Oetiker themselves.

Thanks

Sure… it’s easy… throw them out, and replace them with a normal hose clamp from the auto parts store. (make sure they are Stainless) You can buy a bunch of them for the price of the tool.:cheers:

Which clamp are you wanting to replace. Some can be replaced with zip ties (like those on the PTO boot) most others, as was mentioned, just replace with stainless screw clamps.
