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.

I'm at 61k miles and need to swap belts and hoses. Anyone have experience and tips/ techniques for swapping out the heater hoses? The clearances look very tight, so I'm expecting it to be a pain and knuckle buster. Was curious if anyone used any special tools, etc. Also, from the diagram in the FSM it looks like there are 4-5 hoses if I do all of them which maps to what I'm seeing on sites like Rockauto....any preference in brands? Any thoughts/experience would be appreciated.
