Are you using new hoses (the old ones have probably expanded too much for the clamps to slide back on)? Check that you haven't deformed the clamps and be sure to use a pair of vice grips on the clamps instead of pliers so you have an extra hand free. It's a PITA job because there's so little room to work with but just keep at it and you'll get it done.
