As with anything, there is no reason to over torque the worm clamps. It's one of those things you do by feel and/or watching the hose deform slightly.

Years ago I put new brake lines on the bike. Spec called for 15-20 lb ft on the double banjo bolt. Set the torque wrench accordingly and went to town. Shortly before the wrench was supposed to click, the bolt snapped. Do these thing by feel from now on.

Any thoughts/experience would be appreciated.
I'm going thru that process as we speak. I went to O'Reilly and bought a Gates serpentine belt for $39 and had it put on in 30mins. There are so many different heater hoses that i'm going to get them from Infiniti for a 2009 Infiniti G37Sport for about $50. I got a washer sensor from Rockauto and have NO complaints. And i'm doing all of this at 85K. Good luck
