Who makes and sells a tool to release the DORMAN connectors which hold the heater hoses to the heater coil? I tried several auto parts stores and only found fuel and A/C quick disconnects. No luck on GMC or Chevy heater hoses.

If this is your clamp I use either regular pliers, or water pump pliers, depending how big it is.

If this is not the clamp you are talking about, disregaurd! Tim's tool co calls them Flat band pliers.
