If it is a plain metal band (with a ridge crimped into it on one side or either side) it is a factory installed (cost reduction) clip that is, as far as I know, a single use application.

They need to be cut off with a junior hacksaw and replaced with a good quality, (ie, not Chinese) jubilee clip.

The factory clip used is like that used on CV joints. Just cut it off and replace with a worm drive clip
It should be similar the this.

Don't cut it !!!


Can you see the bit at the top left, that just hooks over the ridge on the top right.

So to undo it , put a small screwdriver or pick under the bit and the top left and flick it up.

To refit it, push it back together and then either use some clip pliers or a pair of sidecutters to just push the hook back over the lip.

So much quicker than jubilee clips
