although, in my opinion, such work does not require special knowledge and can be done independently (it is better to spend money on a tool) IMHONodge Thankyou would I loose a lot of coolant being the large hose going to the "stat" housing?I would replace the factory clip with a worm drive clip.

That depends on whether you can swap the clips without removing the hose, or how quickly you can change the clip if you do pull the hose off. Me I'd split the old band clip either by cutting or unclipping depending on type, then open a worm clip right up, so it'll slip over the hose without removing it, minimising coolant loss to a few drops.
The old clip n it is the type you grip witha pair off pliers and this opens clip up let go of luggs tightens it
Those can be unclipped by simply twisting a screwdriver between the inner and outer bands by the little hooks.
Morning Nodge, I thankyou for that Guess what its raining again maybe I need a KayakThose can be unclipped by simply twisting a screwdriver between the inner and outer bands by the little hooks.
Once it's off, a suitable size worm drive clip can be slipped over and threaded back together and tightened. Job jobbed.
Monday is looking promising.
