How to Install CV Boot Clamps

[@USMC-Sniper-0137]

I appreciate your cleanliness. Most people do not care to keep the area clean and it has a greater failure rate then. Kudos to you my man!!!!!

[@martinbuilt]

Thank you. I really appreciate that. I'm glad you liked it and found it help.

Those players look very nice. They have sharp portion on the bottom I bought different pliers from Amazon they’re junk I can never crimp stupid clamp because bottom portion is too tick Thanks for the video

[@egx161]

You have the patience of a Saint sir. Nice work. Thanks for sharing all this. Lisle makes good decent tools. OTC makes great tools also. Thanks

[@martinbuilt]

Thank you, yes OTC has some good tools as well I have several of theirs.

Thanks for this video. I need to replace a missing clamp on a front cv on my 1986 Golf Gti, and this helped immensely!

I'm glad you like it and found it helpful.

[@paulsmith9341]

I used the stainless clamps that don't have the perferations. I built the tool from other KZbin videos. Works great for a strong heatproof zip tie!

[@martinbuilt]

I did have some of the stainless steel zip ties but didn't have the tool and wasn't able to pull them tight enough to get it to keep the grease from coming out so I went to the traditional method of using the CV boot clamps.

[@johnmatthias7187]

Found this very useful. Thank you. Good luck in the future

Thank you for the video. I need to replace a clamp and boot on my ATV. I have a pair of tile nippers that I think will work perfect to pinch it.

Amazing how difficult it is to get the boot on! Good job!

Nice tool to have, thanks Martin 👍😁

No problem 👍

[@2stroke1971]

Cool! I am working on a 2000 Tundra, inspection said bad CV boots. There is grease present, not nearly as much or as wide spread as yours, it is concentrated exactly at the clamp area, as if it came right out at that exact point. Also, it is not wet looking come to think of it. Hell it could have leaked out some time before the last boot failed. I think I am going to clean the boot, look hard for damage, and then put a new clamp on that end. I have the sort of tool you use here, but I have had mixed luck the few times I have used it. I wonder what the best brand of clamp to use with that style is

[@bradleycrenshaw6778]

Thank you sir !!!! Did i see a ball bearing rolling around in the grease just inside the boot on the right?

[@martinbuilt]

I checked the video, I see what you may think is a ball bearing but, I am sure that is all just grease.

[@mattsflytying2816]

Thanks for the video. I was backing up my Tacoma off Rd and picked up a big stick and it broke the clamp off of my cv didn't hurt the boot I was wondering the same if it was possible to reclamp without removing axle. Good video thanks 👍

[@joedraina6520]

Does it matter what direction you place the clamp with respect to rotation of the axle? Also is there any need to cut off excessive length of the band before installing it?

[@peterrudy9207]

I periodically spray all rubber components with 303 Protectant underneath my car to resist drying out and cracking

[@obedvilbert1746]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.Two months ago, i had replaced both side of the inner tirod of my 2011 chevy equinox. The orignal clamps were damaged and i could not find ones at any local auto parts shop. I ended up using a regular clamp instead.Yesterday While i was driving down the highway, my vehicle was shaking really bad. I turned around back home to check what was going one, i notice both inner tirod boots were twisted really bad. Could it be the reason i did not use original boots clamps? Both inner look good with no play at all but i could not figure out what had caused them to be twisted that bad. Thanks in advance for your reply.

[@martinbuilt]

Hello I'm wondering if perhaps when you put the clamps on you didn't have the steering wheel fully to the right or left at the time you install the clamps then when recentering the wheel it causes a twist on the boots.

[@obedvilbert1746]

Im not sure if I did put the steering fully to the right or left. I forgot to mention not only boots were twisted bad and they came off. Despite they were twisted, they were not damaged or town apart. I straight them out and put the clamps back on but I made sure they are tight and secure. I took the vehicle to a shop for further inspection. They said everything look good and the vehicle needed alignment. I tested drive and it seems running fine. Thanks for the reply and I really appreciated it.

Good job 👍 excellent information about it

[@RichardNash100]

in the tool what are the big square holes for? any purpose?

[@annabarba6729]

Hello Martin, awesome video! Do you think those teeth on the clamp will perforate the boot when tighten?

[@diekatzefliegt]

hey martin. I need to redo my CV joint on my front driveshaft in my 04 Wj (the one at the transfer case). Am i definitely going to need this tool for this application? I didnt see any clamps like this on the one that needs replacing, but that could be the problem haha. Thanks!

[@ih8hertz1]

I went through about 5 of these. Just couldn't get the boot to sit right

Please take some time to tell about your 4.7L engine lifting fixture. TIA

here's a video I did on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKC5eaOKgJl1rKc

[@danhambrick6331]

That metal band should hold up better than a zip tie...👍👍👊

[@martinbuilt]

Yes, most definitely 👍

[@MidwestDavesGoldProspecting]

Great video

[@EvanRudolph1]

Does crimping the clamp tighten it up? I’m having a hard time getting it tight

[@martinbuilt]

You need to hook it on the tightest one you can get 1st by hand then using the tool will finish the job and get it nice and tight.

[@luissantizo]

thank you for the video!!! 👌👌👌

[@BillSW]

how do u know how much grease to put in? do u fill up the boot?

[@martinbuilt]

Leave some room in there. Try to pack the CV as much as possible.

[@BillSW]

how do u remove the old original clamp? does the tool help with that?

[@martinbuilt]

Use a set of side cutters and cut it at the crimp.

[@fatwalletboy2]

Great vid

[@jahsurhofjudah6053]

direction of clamp would have been nice. to the rear or towards the front of vehicle.

Hows the clamp holding up Sir?

[@martinbuilt]

I had a look at it about a week ago still looking great, no leaks

[@redhead6351]

great great job im doing that now

[@James.984haid]

You are supposed to torque the clamps.

[@jdmforever5583]

I would have left the grease residue it wouldn't hurt anything actually keep things from corroding

[@JamesZekveld]

Just leave the grease every where it's like undercoat
