Hi, I'm doing an oil cooler repair and am also replacing the coolant outlet hose on the back of the unit, that goes to one of the aluminum lines on top of the engine. I have a Genuine Mopar hose.
2 questions:
How do you get the guards/tabs off of the hose clamps?
Are the clamps supposed to be "glued" or otherwise stuck to the hose? Opposite the guards, on the bottom side of the clamp, both ends of the hose are clearly attached to the clamp with what looks like glue. So even when I get the guards off the clamps, it appears they will not be able to slide over the hose after its put on the port, and will rip the rubber.
This is my 1st time doing a new hose and it seems weird.
Anyone?
