Just tighten it don't go nuts. No one torques hose clamps. Sometimes they will leak when it gets cold, just snug the clamp up a bit more.

After a few heat cycles usually you need to cut the hose to get it off anyway.


One school of thought is to dump the MB hose clamps and use wider generic clamps on the radiator. I buy into this and have done so, makes sense wider band distributes the load better.
