I know this sound like a pretty dumb question, but I can not get the clamps on. These are the round spring type Corbin clamps on the lower radiator hose of my 1960. I even took the radiator back out and have it on my work bench.
I have the hose clamp pliers that allows me to squeeze the tips of the clamp together, but still can not get the clamp spread enough to go onto the hose. I have the clamp on the lower radiator outlet, then slipped the hose onto the outlet and trying to get the clamp onto the hose from that point.
Does anyone have a tip or technique to get the clamp spread more so that it will go over the hose.
Thanks,
Don
