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 __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
