I do likewise with the hose clamp and it works really well. I also always
put some anti-seize grease on the threads, AND, I slide the nut up the
capillary tube and put some around the tube and top of the bulb so the nut
will not seize on them. It seems to really help when I next have to remove
it. I use Permatex copper anti-seize grease.

I do the same, but add a hose clamp around the cut in the socket so it
won't spread around the nut when pressure is applied. Works for me. DP
