Installing CV boot using a clamp tool

[@rob12449]

yup, today I'm planning to use the same tool for the first time, I know there is winding and folding but did not know about the cutting feature. It is good to know how to use a tool before using, and reading directions is not a bad thing, sometimes you can criticize the directions for being confusing. youtube is the best thing since sliced bread.

The forward-reverse moment is hilarious. Thx for all

I recently bought a pair of CV boot clip tools. One identical to yours and a different one that pinches a 'square hoop' shaped part of the boot clip. Not realising that they were for different types of boot clip, you've just stopped my head scratching in confusion! Thanks!

Just bought the 8milelake CV joint banding tool from Amazon and I have not had the chance to use it yet so I appreciated your demonstration. I think that the orientation of the clamp to face backwards is actually a good idea (no one else has hinted at that yet). Rebuilding the CV joints on my Honda Element.

Excellent tool much better than using nail plyers and side cutters on the old clamp, must get that , thanks for posting

Great video- just what i needed to know/learn, the band tool, for same right rear axel on my machine which i need to fix - thank you

[@vinces8974]

Great demonstration, I think you needed a bigger hammer though LOL

[@madcat4563]

Thanks a bunch.

[@paulandrews3785]

thanks for the video got this tool for doing heat 🔥 bandage suppose it will work

[@sailorbob74133]

Thanks, been a while since I've replaced a cv boot and couldn't remember how to use the clamp tool.

[@jamiejazzy]

Very helpful,didn’t know there was a tool but that looks handy👍

[@whynotjusttry5401]

Thanks for watching.

[@leod3963]

Great video man

[@whynotjusttry5401]

I was trying for short simple how to use video, because that’s what I look for when I need help.

[@texassmokingmonkey]

Nicely done. I pulled my outer CV acle out too far so had to pop the clamp to get it back in. Tried just a regular hose clamp, but the tightening fitting sticks up too high, and would have destroyed an electrical fitting after one rotation! Glad to find this, very useful.👍

[@whynotjusttry5401]

I’m glad it helped. Thanks for watching.

Hi me and my steo dad aer trying zo do the same job on a 2002 375 and we are stuck on trying to get the knuckle off the outter part of the axle any tips buddy

[@hav1byte]

Also, just fyi - suggestion- maybe cut off the corners of the band tabs, or round them off - wont be pointed or sharp

[@whynotjusttry5401]

Good idea. Glad the video helped.

[@koky7288]

Dont forget to remove air trapped in boot before clam install.

[@rawbdiggity]

Good video, thanks

[@chiefer8368]

Where’d you get ur crimping tool? Video was quite helpful too as I wanted to see this done up close. Thanks.

[@whynotjusttry5401]

I purchased the tool from Amazon.

[@whynotjusttry5401]

There is also an Amazon link in the description for you to find it easier.

[@RocksNRuts4]

need to do the same as i see gease in my rim, how do i kno cv joint is bad, grinding n stiff?

[@whynotjusttry5401]

If you can rotate it and it’s smooth. If you clean out all the grease and look at it for any issues.

[@RocksNRuts4]

@@whynotjusttry5401 ty, does seem smooth but old grease is slightly silver so thought maybe shavings...

[@kevinparker5657]

Nice shirt

[@winandd8649]

Instead of figuring out which direction your axle is going to turn when installed, you can also bend back the remaining lip to be clamped underneath the 2 tabs, see : kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooLHdoCnnJiNmrs

[@whynotjusttry5401]

That works too. Thanks for sharing.

[@RocksNRuts4]

thought he did that...
