I scooted the old clamps forward and attached the adjustable metal clamps besides them. Didn't have to remove anything.I replaced the hoses and reused old clamps, no more leaks. You have to remove the hoses to replace the clamps, why not replace the hoses too? Those hoses are hardened if they have not been replaced before. I replaced other hoses to the cooler too.
I agree but OEM Toyota hoses aren’t cheap and I don’t like using aftermarket hoses. For now I replaced the clamp if that doesn’t fix the problem then I will go for new hose. I only replaced one upper clamp with this type of clamp in the picture.I replaced the hoses and reused old clamps, no more leaks.
