[QUOTE="Mark Price 2, post: 1011033, member: 70403"] Very well could be. Initially yes. I "feel" like they are as tight as I can get them now without stripping em. Good to know about that they will do that before cutting or breaking plastic nipples. Thanks. 1/4 inch ratchets are kind of hard for me to judge I guess. I feel like I'm killing it but probably I'm not. I will most likely just end up finding some mid quality clamps and just double clamp em for now until the next coolant change/repair. Then try some nice ones. It just hit me. This same thing happened to me on my Wife's Accord. I ended up double clamping. I guess I'm just a wuss. Plastic parts scare the crap outta me. I was recently messing around with my daughters 02 Sport wiper nozzles. Broke both plastic holder tabs that hold them to the cowling. Looked up the price of new cowling. Ouch. I'll just rig something. It was cold out as well. Completely my fault. [/QUOTE]
