Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Pliers

[RClark]

CRS has struck again. i can't remember where the article was on changing coolant and the part/model number for the hose clamp pliers.

I've a drawer full of pl;iers but none seem to be the correct ones.

I just hope I can find Las Vegas next month.

If your '02 has the same style hose clamps as what was used on the '97's, a normal pair of pliers can be used. That is all I do.

i just used a set of slip joint/ water pump pliers to move my clamps off the hoses, not much of a fight at all.

When I was younger and more dexterious i used slip jpints also.
