Re: {Chrysler 300} Radiator Hose Corbin Clamp tool?




Thanks, Keith

I actually bought KD tool, #427, off eBay that Bob Jasinski suggested the other day (there were two on the site and the one I bought looked to be in better shape.)

I haven’t received it yet but counting on it to work better than what I’ve been using.

It’s possible I gave you the wrong number for that KD tool. I have been at the Omaha meet and will be headed back to my toy barn tomorrow. I’ll check out the tool and make sure I am giving you the right number.

I looked at those the other day in our local Advance store and the packaging said the tool
Was for the flat band style hose clamps and said nothing about the Corbin round wire type.

Advance  Auto appears to carry the one that has worked perfectly for me. KD brand #W80654. $21.99.

BTW if you need clamps of various sizes I probably have the ones you need. 

I can also help you determine which sizes will be correct for your hoses.

Folks

I’m replacing the hoses on the F and I’m using the Corbin style self adjusting single wire clamps ‘ala the original style. I’m having a devil of a time with the lower radiator hose clamps. I have a set of single wire hose clamp pliers that I’ve had for probably 50 years but I’m not getting the leverage I need to fully open the lower clamps to move them into the correct position, particularly on the water pump. I see that there’s a Gearwrench Vermont pliers product that has a ratchet feature (which my current pliers do not have and which would make the job far easier.) I also see a plethora of products that have a ratcheting handle that runs to a remote set of jaws at the end of a cable that would seem to make it easier to get to the hose/clamp position on the underside of the water pump.

Thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks,

Keith
