Air box Clamps - What Tool for Installation?

[DJ123]

I'm replacing the air box clamps as they would not remove without causing some damage. To install the new ones, what tool is needed?

Is it the Clic/Clic R style tool? Or is it another variation of this.

TIA

I have a special tool for hose clamps somewhere in my garage, made by Sykes-Pickavant I think.

I wouldn’t pay that much for them now when inexpensive copies are available for under a tenner.

Steptoe probably has a special tool he knocked up just for the job.

Cheers Adam. There's a few on Amazon for £15 or so i was looking at.

Used them today as i was putting the bike back together. They were a breeze to use and made it a quick & simply job to do!
