[Engine] EGR Valve Pipe Clamp Tool 1.6HDi

[cancunia]

Looks like I may need to change the fuel rail pressure sensor on my 1.6Hdi and to do that I think I may need to remove the EGR valve first?
I remember reading on here quite some time ago that the clamp that holds the EGR valve to the EGR pipe can be tricky to clip back together without a special tool, but also seem to remember that there's another way to do it?

I know there will be loads of EGR threads so wondered if anyone remembers how to re clip that clamp?

I'm going to change the fuel filter first, so hopefully that will sort out my P0089 code but if not, the rail sensor will be next.

Thanks.

This is the tool I used.

The clamps you refer to can be replaced with a clamp similar to the old metal jubilee hose clamps.
There are some on ebay that are screwed tight with a allen key. approx £5.00 each

So now you dont need a special tool .

Thanks to both for the reply, I seem to remember there was a lot of trouble getting those clips back together without the correct tool or an alternative.

@brodfather11 do you have any links or photos of the replacement clip that you can post for reference?

EDIT:
I found these on Amazon, probably others elsewhere for less
