Nagging question on Clamps

[Jgkram]

I reuse mine and no problems. I dont' think the metal clamps have as much danger of losing their force as the rubber tubes becoming brittle or splitting and causing leaks. When you do replace the tank be sure to check you tubes carefully. I pulled all of mine and inspected them thoroughly and reconditioned them. Again, no issues in almost a year after replacing the coolant tank.

That's good to know. What's involved in reconditioning them?
