Waiting for the Great Pumpkin
Yeah i was worried about them coming back off too however the only time i have an issue is with those screw type hose clamps. I have broken a few just trying to get them to stay on or keep a seal. I have found that i haven't had any issue with the spring type from Toyota or the screw wire type of older generations.
I hope this doesnt jinx me.
Oh yeah.. well let us know if it works in those other situations as well! Haha
That may change things - my eff-up was back in my VW days when some places they used the spring clamps, and others the chachi-quality worm drive housings that stripped if you sneezed looking at it.
I would re-use springs but grabbed variety - sizes of the wider Gates w/ the better worm screw/housing.
I just shy away from silicone around coolant, be it the bigger hoses or use as lube.
Again, just my exp / prior unluck.
