Title: Brake Fluid Hose Clamp
Post by: steven1969 on August 23, 2018, 02:26:52 PM

Hello everyone.

I have a 1987 k75s. I'm replacing the rear brake fluid canister and can't seem to get the little hose clamp loose. Do I need a special tool for this? I've never seen a hose clamp like this one.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Steve

if it's the original clamp it is a "one use" clamp which uses a pair of pliers to crimp the clamp tight. Use a screw-driver that fits in the opening of the crimped metal and pry it open/loose. You can use a standard worm-gear clamp as a replacement. I haven't taken a personal inventory but I believe all the clamps were originally crimp-style.

Got it. Thanks. So only 1 time use? I put it back on and squeezed it tight with a pair of pliers.

Yup, no pressure here, just need a hose clamp to hold it in place.
