hi, I need to replace a hose on 1of my trim tabs. Im using a boat leveler pump but unsure how to disconnect the hose at the tab. There seems to be a sleeve crimped over the hase at the cylinder. Any ideas?
thanks jim

Yep, it is crimped with a 12731 collar clamp. Part sells for less than three bucks but the pneumatic clamp tool is probably six hundred.

Cut the old hose off the cylinder. Slice the crimp sleeve with a utility knife and peel it off. Replace the entire hose from the pump end, which has a standard threaded fitting, as recrimping requires a special tool. To the best of my knowledge this is what I feel should help solve your issue.
