Hose Clamps - Reuse old or replace?

[pgilliam1]

I just ordered new hoses and was going to include new clamps with my parts order but the Acura parts person (a person that comes highly recommended on this website) said that he seldom sells them because people reuse the OEM clamps. I have always used new clamps on my other vehicles and was wondering what the experienced NSX people here recommend?
Thanks and Happy Motoring!

I typically reuse them. Only in the case where an engine has been overheated, I replace the one's on the engine side of the hose, since these can fatigue when they get too hot. You can tell since the tension on the clamp is weakened.

Also I have ruined a few in hard to get places.

HTH,

+1. You can reuse them as long as you don't overstress them while dismounting.

Of course, inspect them first, but reuse the good ones.

The veterans here are a wealth of knowledge and that knowledge always helps with the task at hand and saves me money. I will try my best to return your favors to others here and along my ways.
Thanks - Much Appreciated!

I replaced all my hoses in 2004 reused all the clamps no problems. Good luck with the hose at the oil filter housing!
