You can use many things for lubricating the O-rings. The main thing is that you DO use something! A thick liquid soap, a grease like rubber grease, or even petroleum jelly (Vaseline).
The original hose clamps should never be used, and the clamps should be properly tightened!
good luck!

What should I use for that ? Oil? Grease ?
So according to this guide I need only remove the throttle body to gain access?
Can i reuse the hose clips? Or should I replace those with worm drive jubilee clips?
Cheers and thanks on advance!
