Hi! I have an '06 Audi A4 2.0T S-Line and recently changed out the passenger side Xenon bulb. In the process, I removed the hose clamp coming out from the air filter. Getting it off wasn't a problem, but getting it back on, it was. From reading several forums, it appears I need a special set of pliers. However I can not locate where to purchase those pliers. I have a set of vis-grips, but I could not 'open' the clamp far enough to get it back on. In the end, I just got a screw-type hose clamp from the local auto parts store and it's working fine. I thought in the future, it would be nice to have the proper tool....

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Attached are pictures of the clamp itself.
