Default Calling Frank@ AMS, are you around ?

I dont have your email at home, so thought i'd try to catch you here. I have question on the TBB. I know the small clamp is for the sensor hose. But, I don't see a way to open or tighten it. I could use a little help. Otherwise I think I'm ready. Thanks.

Default it's simple, enough

in a pinch, you can use a wire-cutting plier

basically anything that will pinch the bottom of that oval
(which stays tight after you "pinch" it)

make sense?

Default oh and one more thing

look around your engine (these type of clapms are used all over the place

and that will give you an idea, of how it's supposed to look after it's tight

basically, and set of pliers that will bite down, around it like vise or teeth

it's tough to describe what the tool looks like

Default sorta, but try not to go crazy :-)

but it would be pretty tough,
to cut through the re-inforced skin
of the R-TBB

just snug up the screws that pretension, the little green springs

and be sure that the clamp is on the tightest hook,
that will allow you to get the clamps over the TBB
during install

it should be pretty obvious, once you get started

but If I'm not here, tomorrow..there's quite a few people on this forum, that have them..

I'm sure they could share their experiences
