Cotter Pin Hose Clamps

So I'm thinking of just buying once crying once (including one $40 hose, ouch), and going OEM. One appears to be discontinued however.
Check Amayama and other foreign sources. You may find prices that are lower and maybe some items that Toyota USA has discontinued. For smaller, lighter weight parts, the shipping cost can be reasonable.

Thank you, Amayama and Partsouq is where I get 90% of my parts. Currently have 72 parts in my cart :).

Unfortunately one hose (90445-14172) is unavailable from both of them, and is $40 from other sources (I'll bite the bullet on that one).

Another one (23829-75130) is discontinued altogether.
 
If y'all don't have this, or a similar tool in your box, it will change your life. All of a sudden spring clamps will become your favorites.

The tool also works on Oetiker style ear clamps, such as for fuel injection. Faster than turning a screwdriver.

I have one like it, and it's great especially for larger clamps like radiator hose clamps, where regular pliers are too small and you'd need to step up to Channellocks.

However, they were pretty useless for the other water hoses - they were too large to sneak into the narrow areas where the clamps were hiding. I found a combination of straight and offset long handle needlenose pliers to be very effective.
