Hose clamps on cooler

[sam59]

On the left side of the block there is a trans cooler. I replaced the hoses but now the cooler is leaking. I bought the cooler thru cummins. My question, what kind of special pliers take the clamps off? I dread doing the job because of the trouble I had replacing the hoses. It looks to me if I had the tool it wouldn't be so bad. Thanks

Yes, there is a special tool to remove those clamps. It is basicaly a pliers with a cable on it and hooks to grab the clamps. Any auto parts store should have them.

Thank's for the replies. I figured it out and got a pair yesterday. Now I have to use them.
