FEBRYTOLD 12 Pcs CV Boot Clamp, 6 Pcs Small and 6 Pcs Large Stainless Steel Universal Adjustable Stainless Steel Drive Shaft CV Boot Clamp

This kit works perfectly to retain my cv boot which came without new clamps.

Didn’t expect much except for them to work but these axle boot clamps are super thick and tough. Used the toyota crimping tool to close it up easy. Warning though, the first one I tried closing up all the way and it broke open(my fault). So this not like an oem clamp where the inside of the clamping notch closes until touching, maybe halfway until touching and you’ll see it’s tight enough imho… God bless fellow diy’ers!

After having issues with the junk ones that came with my cv boot kit and then finding equally poorly made ones at the auto stores, I looked online and settled on these...Very pleased with purchase...Strong, heavy quality stainless...the ones I was using previously werent even stainless at all and weighed a fraction of what these do...To anyone worried about clamp failure with these....Dont worry! These are stronger than OEM ,there no way on earth ur gonna snap these with any proper crimping tool..these also have 3 hooks to lock in verses the cheap ones I had that used 1 hook and 2 nubs..these are Strong! I docked a star because the hooks, like almost all for sale, face Down and will contact the boot..what I did was I took the clamp, while in my hand, and locked the hooks into place to view it.. i could see they extended down alittle.. I took pliers and crimped them down Slightly so the were almost flush with the band they are locked into..this still allow them to be secured but the sharp ends dont stick down as far.. if ur still worried, get a thin strip of rubber tape and place it directly Under the band where the teeth are.. To crimp, I used crimp tool by toolwiz sold here on amazon.It has a working center pusher that will compress down while u pinch.. solid heavy duty tool without spending too much..12.95...hope this helps others, I looked at more clamps than I care to remember b4 picking these.

The clamp was the same width and thickness as the original clamp, and it seems very well made. The only difference was that the original clamp had the 3 hooks/teeth pointing away from the boot and this one has the 3 teeths pointing to the cv boot. This was not a problem for my car because the boot is very thick where the hooks are touching it. In order to protect the boot from the hooks, I cut a small piece of bicycle tire I was planning to place between the teeths of the clamp and the boot, but I did not have to use it. I replaced a loose clamp, so I only took the car tire off for this repair. Removing the old clamp was easier than I expected by inserting a screwdriver in the clamp tightening loop and rotating until the clamp hooks disengaged. Installing the new clamp in such a tight space was very easy and effortless by using a small 4" aftermarket tool similar to the one sold by Toyota. For the tool, I used a 13 mm socket to tighten the clamp.

Perfect performance - auto dealer parts house stated that this would not work. Yes, and better than the product and cost from them. Go for it and do not waste your time there. I would purchase again. In fact I installed these myself (DIY home mechanic) and still providing excellent service. I should provide photos but I can always update and provide. We need good quality and decent prices sometimes and I thank all who have helped during my research.
