But seriously, that's two bands of spring steel. Cutters won't touch it, if they could even reach it.

Maybe if I had thin, wiry arms like Bill, but alas...

"Lost" the damn thing when I was replacing the hoses two years ago; put a new clamp on instead.

I have no idea how I'm going to deal with it, without draining the coolant and pulling the hose. Or pulling the header. There is precisely zero room to hold the clamp and put it on the end of the hose.

A big blob of silicone should keep things quiet until you can remove the clamp.

Slow night in the village tonight.

There's just so much fvuckedupedness here I can't even summarize it. But I'll try. Basically, the vaccination panel appointed by the gov't thinks nursing home residents and older folks are better off dying, because they feel the overriding point of their job is to remedy "health inequity."

Quotes from the article:

"Historically, the committee relied on scientific evidence to inform its decisions. But now the members are weighing social justice concerns as well."

Marc Lipsitch, an infectious-disease epidemiologist at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, argued that teachers should not be included as essential workers, if a central goal of the committee is to reduce health inequities. “Teachers have middle-class salaries, are very often white, and they have college degrees,” he said.

“Older populations are whiter, ” Dr. Schmidt said. “Society is structured in a way that enables them to live longer. Instead of giving additional health benefits to those who already had more of them, we can start to level the playing field a bit.”

"Still, some people believe it is wrong to give racial and socioeconomic equity more weight than who is most likely to die."

From Northeastern (who's that?), Rutgers (lame), Harvard (overrated), and Northwestern (Go 'Cats!) Universities.

Tl;dr : keep covering your ugly mugs, but more importantly stay the fvck away everyone else. Social distancing protects you, masks don't - they protect others from getting COVID if you have it.

“We find that social distancing has decreased dramatically since the spring, while mask wearing has increased."

Bet I could toss it on my Mohawk & take care of it; though Trigger may not approve

With that selection of Gearwrench & Hazard F. Tools...you should be able to at least push it up & hold; while putting a small slit

piece of hose around the pipe....then bring the clamp back down around it

Those AFR sensors are nearly another 4-digit expense

Expecting more stuff next week; as I had to get my 525 Hellcat pumps from Aeromotive; same exact pump in their box...they call it something else.
Just glad it’s genuine pumps & no counterfeit crap
