Need Help: Identify hose clamp tool?
Looking to replace the spark plugs on my 2012 M276, however in order to do that, I'll need to remove the ECU on the right side AND the factory airbox on the left side. Problem is I don't know how the airbox clamps work and I'm guessing there's a special tool to remove/replace them without breaking it.
What I'm used to is this...
...but instead I'm seeing this...
Help?

I would remove the present clip anyway possible ( prising with screwdriver & pliers ) & replace it with the good quality retaining hose clip that you are familiar with.
I replaced these weird clips on my diesel fuel filter 4 years ago without issue.

This is what I bought in the past for those clips.
