Is there a special tool available to release the blue spring clamps on the fuel injectors and fuel lines?

I always use a pair of pliers. works for me. But their is a special tool made just for this and makes it look super quick to get off. Flexible hose clamp plier, Amazon has some as low as $20.00 to $50.00 would be nice to have in the tool box.

I just decided to make my own. The fuel line blue spring clamps are much more difficult to grab compared to the coolant hose clamps. I found and old pair of pliers and used my Dremel tool and ground a small "V" groove in each jaw very close to the ends and they worked like a charm to hold the small blue spring clamps open while maneuvering then away. Im happy now Smile

They clip and stay open if you use needle pliers Smile Not idéal but I don’t reuse them anyway.
