Using these hose clips is easy. First, make sure your radiator hoses are clean and dry. Then, place the clip around the hose where you need it. Tighten the clip securely, but don't over - tighten as it could damage the hose. When it comes to maintenance, since these clips are made of high - quality stainless steel, they're quite durable. Just check them regularly for any signs of wear or looseness, especially if you use your vehicle in harsh conditions. If you notice any issues, replace the clips right away. And remember, these clips are designed to fit specific Honda models from 2017 - 2020 and AS3 Performance and OEM hoses, so don't try to use them on incompatible parts.
