Hello Concours riders:
How to safely remove the front brake hose clamps from front fender?
I found the clamp photo, but no detailed description in the service manual. thanks!
I had to deal with those twice, when the third time came up I threw them away. I drilled a second hole below and put a black tie wrap between the holes then I slipped a second tie wrap behind the first one (perpendicular) and loosely around the brake line...and never regretted it.
However, to stop my rant and try to answer your question, I believe the trick is to place a small socket over the sharp protruding ends inside the fender to compress them together and then pull from the other side. I'm not sure of the correct size socket but I'd start with 8mm and go up or down in size as needed (probably down). I don't think it can be done with the wheel in place but...
.....maybe with trump hands it's possible......OH OH...did I hear a sword leaving its scabbard?
