Handling Of Hose Clamps
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lexus LS 430. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Before removing the hose, check the clamp position so that it can be reinstalled in the same position.
- Replace deformed or dented clamps with a new one.
- When reusing a hose, attach the clamp on the clamp track portion of the hose.
- For a spring type clamp, you may want to spread the tabs slightly after installation by pushing in the direction of the arrow marks as shown in the illustration.
