Message	But I'm sure the pics are gone. Main thing is you need to be straight on with the pliers. Cant have 1 side of the spring tap pulling more than the other. Thats when they bend. Once they do that I found they are pretty much shot and dont clamp as well anymore. I wasted a few before I figured things out. Once they are in place over/on the hose, the needle nose/etc will work fine to move them around on the hose. >
