G31 Senor Clasp wont go back into the TBB!
I am having some serious trouble getting my G31 sensor back into the top of the trottle body boot. My new boot came with a new clasp that is to lose and the old one is to tight to get it back in. How do I adjust these clamps? I will take pictures in a few min to post but those of you who know the type of clasp i am talking about please help.

you need to crimp the new clamp to get it tight.

Nah achtuning and they gave me one just like the stock clamp that doesn't have a screw. I might make a quick run to home depot to see if I can get one.
Did you push it on when everything else was connected or before you put it in?

either go get a set of those pinch pliers or, get a different hose clamp like the one pictured above
with the screw adjustment... you should not have a problem getting the sensor back in with a screw clamp... i just swapped mine twice today alone, didn't like the fact that my "aftermarket" TBB, didn't have the lip on the inside of the throttle body side of the boot, so i switched back to stock until new samco comes in...
