You know the drill...you try to pull the vac line off the barb and it just wont pull off. Reason being...it is like a chinese finger trap. When you pull on it, the hose grips the barb tighter. They really need to be pushed off.

I use these to help remove my VAC lines for all my turbo associated lines and they work perfect and dont mark up the surrounding area like a open end wrench or pliers would. Just stick the forks on the hose end near the boss and push as you pull from the other end and theyll slide right off.

Cheap too! Worth saving the frustration.

 

Looks like they'd be useful to have for other projects too

Thanks

 

They are meant for trim removal. So for the audio guys they are great too. I used them to remove a windshield seal on my wifes 335i. Worked perfect.

 

Not bad for 4 bucks
