Hose Clamping

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If old rubber hose is re-used, install hose clamp in its original position (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there is a trace of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose, align rubber hose at that position.
Discard old clamps; replace with new ones.

After installing plate clamps, apply force to them in the direction of the arrow, tightening rubber hose equally all around.
