What tool do I need to compress these
« on: May 07, 2021, 09:41:03 PM »
So the rubber boots on the throttle body on my K75 are dry rotted and cracked so I was able to order new ones, they came with the proper clamps to tighten them down but I am not sure what tool I need to clamp these.

TIA :)

Known as Oetiker pincer/clamps/crimper/pliers which also are needed if replacing fuel line clamps with original Oetiker.
