DESCRIPTION
The cooling system utilizes both worm drive and spring type hose clamps. If a spring type clamp replacement is necessary, replace with the original Mopart equipment spring type clamp.
CAUTION: A number or letter is stamped into the tongue of constant tension clamps. If replacement is necessary, use only a original equipment clamp with matching number or letter (Fig. 11).

OPERATION
The worm type hose clamp uses a specified torque value to maintain proper tension on a hose connection.
The spring type hose clamp applies constant tension on a hose connection. To remove a spring type hose clamp, use Special Tool 6094 or equivalent, constant tension clamp pliers (Fig. 12) to compress the hose clamp.
