Warning- Do what i do at your own Risk! (hose clamp install tip can be dangerous even if you are careful) Quick tip on installing radiator hoses and hose clamps. #howto #radiatorhose #trick
Sir I like your style. A realistic glimpse into what it’s like to work on cars. Never trust a mechanic that doesn’t swear profusely. Thanks for the chuckle. 🍺
Thank you, probably something a little off upstairs. My brain never sleeps, if I allowed half of what goes through my head they would probably commit me!😆
Vaseline will destroy rubber over time, but it will help you get the hoses on easier. Just keep on eye on your hoses periodically if you use it or other oils and greases.
Silicon lubricant is safe for most if not all rubber. I only use vaseline as a last resort. Most people have vaseline, most don't have silicon lube. Well maybe they do for other applications HAHA
Thanks for sharing this great idea, which I'll be using tomorrow when I install a new hose that connects from the radiator overflow tank assembly to the much dreaded engine oil cooler adapter, which gave me a lot of problems during the replacement process, but your great idea will at least make the hose installation process much easier.
Rinse your hoses out with a bit of coolant/ water. then slip it on while it's still wet. otherwise, pretty good. Oh, well, don't get fluid on your hands/ on the outside of the hose. super slippery then.
Use soapy wate that stuff kills rubber and if under high psi it can push off the line will never dry up like soapy water they use it on window tent also your welcome!!
Let me tell you what. That damn petrolium jelly will change your life with coolant hoses. I had to dig some outa the ol' masturbation station the other day to put all over my hose. Just wouldn't quite go on. Just a little tight!
