One time hose clamp removal...
« on: May 20, 2017, 10:02:35 PM »
What do you use (other than the official BMW tool) to cut through the one-time hose and throttle body clamps?
Thanks. :dunno

Buy a plier/cutter that is made for the stainless steel clamps used on cv joint sleeves.

I use a dremel tool with the thin grinding disk.  Cuts it in a second like butter.  Clean and easy.

At the time, something like this was what I used. I still don't have a Dremel, yet.
