This has got to be the cleanest hose replacement job I have ever randomly come across. I just replaced the coolant lines on my semi, and ended up with half a gallon all over my arms, and the ground.
yeah well ive had good luck and bad luck with tension clamps they can wear out i just had one cause a bad leak so bad i could wiggle the hose coolant everywhere i managed to drive it 5 miles home put a worm gear clamp on and no issues now. ive used screw type clamps my whole life never had one issue even on plastic radiators. if you tighten too tight or not tight enough sure you can have problems. also recheck if weather gets colder might need to snug them up other than that no problem
Very cool. I’m working on a 30y old JDM that had the wire clamps in many places. Plenty were completely fine until disturbed, but were seized and could not be recovered for re-use. I do like constant tension clamps but the hose needs to be good, the right size for the fitting and the barb, or whatever also needs to be clean and good. They also won’t work in high pressure applications, may be the power steering HP side would be a no, so if there are crimped fittings or banjo bolts then this would be a red flag. Need to watch your video on shaping hoses as I’ve loads to do that are unobtainium but in reality are just shaped from standard hose as the diameters are the same on both ends. Hose picks are helpful to break the seal of the hose on the fitting, but if the fitting is severe or sharp the same hose might never seal back. A dab or something inert to the fluid is also useful on the fitting, perhaps HT Teflon grease, HT copperslip or the like is also good, but you be the judge. Finally, what are those pliers you use at ~2:53? They look handy as it’s never wise to pull on a hose. Thanks for the great content!
I love the ASMR action! Swing shift approves this !

Thanks for the feedback! Those pliers are the Lisle hose remover item 47900.
If you have room for a heat gun Gates power grip clamps work great.
you could use ear clamp as well
