Power Steering line question
1997 Civic HX MT
Can I use “universal” style hose clamps for the PS lines where required or is there some high pressure issue that requires the honda oem screw adjust soring clamps ?
I am removing my steering rack and, if you’ve done this you’ll know exactly what I am referring to - disconnecting the rubber hose output line hose clamp is an absolute disaster. It’s location is the worst and even once you have the screw loosened or out, it is difficult to compress both spring wires equally simultaneously. I ended up bending the wires in contortions to finally remove it. Probably spent five hours total to remove.
I was hoping to use the generic metal screw belt type when reassembling. Any probkems in my doing so ?
