    I hate those things, I have thrown out probably a couple hundred of them. Any reason you don't want to use standard clamps?

      "Self-Compensating vs. Screw/Worm Hose Clamps

      Self-Compensating (Constant tension) Hose Clamps expands/contracts with the hose in response to temperature changes. Cannot be over or under tightened.

      Screw/Worm Type Hose Clamps must be manually adjusted as temperature changes. Screw mechanism may be over/under tightened causing damage/leakage to the hose."

      To each his own. I like 'em.

        i shall check my clamp stash. i replace them with screw type clamps in hard to reach areas and wind up just replacing all of them to match.

            Very good idea to put them back to stock clamps. I have a whole bunch. Yeah they are hard to get off but they are the correct ones to have on the car. If you dont put it back together right dont take it apart.
