You know, funny thing is that I've forgotten how I did that band. I think it was less than satisfactory on how tight it gets and I ordered some bands that I could tighten with the pictured pliers.

For the band pictured, I believe I just pulled it tight by twisting it and then hammered down the ears. After that, I cut off the excess and tucked it under.

Sorry I could help more.

Thats alright, the job is done, it was helpful to follow this video, the guy used the same bands.

I have to buy only 30 mm wrench. And actually the grease was black and more thick then Honda green color.

I'm glad it's all fixed now. Thanks for sharing that video.

Wow, that seems like a great idea. Looks like a Pex tool.

Those are called 'Ear Clamp Pliers'. I use ear clamps on all rubber lines possible. They don't loosen, but on the other hand, they're not reusable either. Generally you just cut them off with side cutters or nippers.

I see, thanks for that!
