I'm in the process of redoing the 340 in my 70 Cuda and I thought it would be cool when I replaced all the hoses to go with the original style hose clamp/rings.

Well, never having dealt with these before (I have only used the modern screw type hose clamps) I have quickly come to find out they are a real pain in the a** to try to put on. I have tried using channel lock pliers to try to put these things on and it just is not working.

Is there a special tool that you use to get these things on and off?

Here is a picture of the hose clamp/rings that I am talking about.

-Thanks
