[Vwdiesel] Exhaust C Clip Wedge

[Libbybapa at wmconnect.com]

I went to the hardware store, got two short pieces of allthread, four nuts to 
fit with washers, and two pieces of very beefy metal with holes about 1 1/2" 
apart.  The nuts get threaded to the middle two per allthread, washers on 
either side of nuts, beefy pieces of metal next.  The nuts push the beefy pieces 
apart.  When you get close to the size of the clamps, slip the contraption in 
and it will push the clamps apart.  MUCH, MUCH, MUCH safer than the wedge idea. 
 Rocky Mountain sold a similar tool also, I don't know who else would have 
it.  If you need pictures of mine I can post them as an attachment.  Cost less 
than 10 bucks and I had the clamps off an hour after I left for the hardware 
store.  Good Luck.  Andrew
