I used to use the spring ring clamp removal tool that looks like this. I picked mine up at Oreillys. After buying the tool i went to samcos and stainess clamps and have not used the tool since lol

I thought I found a good way to get to that clamp, wrong. I unbolted the swaybar, and it did give me a little more room, but that was a huge mistake. Still couldn't get a socket on it. I then looked from above thinking, will I really need to pull the plenum AGAIN.

I starred at the top of the engine. I then ventured to remove the belt tensioner. This does give me access to the clamp without issue. I will tighten this clamp down tight and hopefully the issue will go away. The car has been leaking coolant for a few weeks now. Just a drop or two. I need to clean all the coolant off the car. Whats the best way to do that?
