How to remove intake Y pipe clamps
Does anyone know how to remove the metal clamps from the rubber Y pipe that is attached to the TB. Are they a one time use clamp or do you need a special tool to remove them.

I dunno how the proper way is, but you can basically use a set of neddle nosed pliars to pinch that bubble which will release the clip. I don't remember if I ended up destroying it or if it could be re-used. I have the screw down kind now.

Where did you find the screw down one. Is it a special type since the opening is oval. Or you just use a round one and when you tighten it, it takes the shape of the oval.
