I took the radiator out to replace the drive belts (2013 Jimny) I'm having real trouble getting the hoses to seal again. Any tips?

I had this on my last jimny and for the cost of the hoses I got new ones and clips from my dealer.

You must get the right clips: 09401-30405.
09401-35403 is a but larger and seems to go on ok but WILL leak. Sims say "used on all rubber coolant hoses on Suzuki's" (sic) but they are wrong. It took three months for me to realise what the problem was, and two so-called professional mechanics couldn't fix the leak either. It was entirely down to the wrong size clips and hasn't leaked a drop since I got the right ones.
