are pliers/side cutters OK to use to tighten them when they're in a recessed location? Seems like the far side of the clamp would be looser compared to the front....
Replacing my 710N's and N75, and would like to make it easier the next time they need to be taken off.
BTW, my local VW dealer only had one size of crimp clamps.

If you can find narrow enough hose clamps, they work just the same.
Getting them narrow enough is the hard part... The screw in kind is what you want.
Zip ties work fine on vacuum lines, too.
