Coolant leak at upper hose radiator clamp

Yahoo Message Number: 101381

The clamp closest to the radiator on the upper hose was put in upside down and it appears to be where I have a slow leak. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can tighten this clamp, very tight space and appears the radiator may have to be removed. Any ideas to help with this are appreciated. The clamp is item 16 in the attached illustrations.

Thanks

Take the outside grill off and see if you can get into it from the back side. Around the end of radiator If there is room to get your hand into it? My Allure is in pieces and looking at it you can come in from  the bottom by taking the muffler off and tail pipe which well may a hole you can then get up to it and with the right tools can tighten this clamp. Take the bed up in the bedroom and lay on the Eng. and see if you can get to it? Go Luck! Call me a call if you like? 702-277-3148 DMG 2000 Allure CCI # 30498

Thanks, I will take a look at those areas to see if it is possible to access the upside down clamp. Tampa Cummins installed it that way when they installed a new radiator 10 years ago.
