Default What size are the crimp clamps used on the hoses connecting the fuel rail?

I wanted to stop by the dealer and get some extra's. I thought they were 14mm.

Default iirc, the hose is 3/8" (forgot the metric) @ $27 a meter.

not sure about the devil clamps.

Default have you ever tried to take one off?

it especially sucks taking them off of plastic valves. I've broken my N75 and Vacuum check valve from the devil clamps..

Default A large pair of sharp cutting pliers does the job nicely. BTW went with 15 mm clamps to replace.
