Severing jubilee clips on a fuel line
Discussion
Hi,
Because of the line the clips on, I can't use power tools/dremel for obvious reasons. Also, the person who put them on, made them incredibly inaccessible so space is limited. To add to this, the clips are very tight, so getting a screwdriver or something between the clip and the pipe is a no go.
I need advice how I can go about getting the damn clip off. I tried using a hacksaw blade, and went to work through the screw on the worm gear, but that didn't help at all. I can't conventionally use a socket/screwdriver as the thread is completely mashed due to corrosion.
Getting grips/wrench in there to pry it off is also difficult because of the space.
Really could use all the help I can get please!
MG ZR if that matters
