Unhappy Jaguar Stype 2003

Hi All, I am trying to replace the complete top radiator hose on my S type. Without a special tool what is the best way to release the hose clamps. Thanks for your help

I used long nosed vise grips when I did mine, it was a bit of a scutter but worked ok.
If you get the new ones located properly you can just pop out the keepers.

Hi Norri, Many thanks for your help. Your advice worked and although the job was a scutter I got it done. Regards Peter
