Style hose clamps

How do you get these things to seal? Im not having any luck with them at all.

Ok, first things first orheptal..seeing that you are a new member.

We will need to know what make and model car you are working on and, is it a 6 cyl or V-8.



1. post a pic of the clamp you are trying to use and where you are trying to use it.

2. is it a heater hose, upper or lower rad hose or, a by-pass hose?

3. are the hoses new ? Do you know the name brand?

This is the kind of info you will need when looking for assistance as there are so many variations.

Cheers!!
