Excellent how-to! I would suggest also replacing the hose clamps. In the past, I've had the spring type not hold as tightly after they've been released. So any time I work on hoses, I go ahead and change the hose clamps for the style with the screw.

I agree, replacing spring type hose clamps is a good idea.
