Subject:replacing the waterpump, opportunity to replace hoses

preious post have the waterpump out and in the process
of replacing the oil cooler hoses.   I am inclined to
you the spring clamps where I can easily removed them.
The key to the spring clamp is to position it where
you are likely to easily remove it at some later time.
Since your approach to the oil cooler has the
waterpump removed you may want to position the new
clamps so that you can get to them from beneath the
vehicle.   In the case of the crossover water pipe I
would go with the screw clamps using a clamp that will
accept a socket..   I use new clamps in the most
difficult positions and reuse old clamps in the easy
positions.   point of post 4 0f 5 is that you should
consider the position of each clamp as if you might
have to get to it while you are on the road.   gary
