			My first thought was that perhaps someone reused the original spring clamp, they were not made to be reused.  It's a great idea to do a preventative water pump replacement, change the seal, and do a coolant flush.  You might think about a low temp thermostat since you will have all of the coolant out, and the motor mount.  It's a lot easier to change the motor mount with the WP out, and they only last about 100k.  Also, inspect the hoses for any excessive stiffness or cracking.
