[Vwdiesel] exhaust manifold spring clamp tool

[Anthony Kimmell]

I don't know about other designs, but I have made one from an exhaust clamp.
Simply take the clamp apart and screw the 2 nuts all the way on to the U
bolt part of the clamp.  Then put the other part on upside down.

You can put this apparatus in the exhaust clips and turn the nuts to expand
the clips and take them off without damaging them.  Works like a charm.
