Power steering hose clamps

[mtdman]

I had these clamps on my power steering hoses that I have no idea how to replace. They looked like they were pinched together. Can these be replaced, or can I just use regular hose clamps? That's a lot of pressure in those hoses, don't want leaks.

A worm style hose clamp will work fine.
You can , however, install the original pinched style very easily.
Buy a set of pliers with the cutting/working edge at the very front.........hard to describe & I can't recall the name. I bought a set & they work great for this clamp.

They look like the pliers they pull your teeth with. Never had one pulled? Consider yourself lucky.:pray: The clamps are available from AMK and others.

Thats the return line, so there is very little pressure there. Regular hose clamp will work just fine.

I use clamps designed for fuel injection hoses. They don't cut into the material as worm style clamps do, and provide better sealing pressure around the hose.
