[leowaterloo]

Hi, everyone

I have a mazda protege 2000 SE , 1.6 L engine

I am going to do a power steering fluid change by myself. Does anybody know how to take off the clamp off the returning hose right at resevoir. Do I need a special tool to do the job?

Please see attachment for the image of that typr of the clamp.

Thanks a lot!
