Well I see my first WET C.V. Boots on the rear left outer boot on my wife's Sp 450. Now my question is do I buy the tool from the Polaris dealer or aftermarket one For 49.99 through Royal Dist.
Will both of these tools (one or the other) work with both Polaris Rubber Boots and the aftermarket ones?


I have 16 boots in total 8 per Quad so I should buy the tool to replace them...
Thanks......Caper..........

 

i actually ground down the ends of a needle nose pliers to make it work as an earless tool and it worked for me. cheap pair of pliers for $5. lol.

 

Question........Are the clamps from Polaris (factory ones) different from the aftermarket ones.......I mean the way the clamp together and come apart?...Caper..........
Do you have a pic of those home-made ones..LOL....
or do you have a pandant pending??..LOL....Caper........

 

no you know me. i'm just cheap and dont want to buy anything if i can cheap it out and make it lol. they might actually be differnt then the aftermarket ones. i know i personally wont buy an aftermaket boot or at tleast the ones i have seen as there not as good as the factory ones. imo. dont forget to clean out the old grease and joint and repack w/ new supplied grease.

 

i bought a pair and worth ever cent.... crimps it in seconds.... you can buy them fairly cheap from K.D tool or unitool from a automotuve jobber

 

Do they work on all boot clamps?........Polaris and aftermarket ones?
....Caper....

 

I'd look around on ebay, or rockymountain, because I think $50 is way to much IMO

 

There are many aftermarket boot clamps, my cousin bought after market boot kits and the clamps were not like the OEM ones, they require no special tools just side snips,pull, bend over and snip.

I would just call Royals free 1-800 number and ask them to make sure.

 

i find those pull and bend style suck.... better off getting universal slide lock and crimp much tighter hold....2.00 at and automotive jobber

and the crimpers work on all except the bends and pull finger bleeders....

 

what ever you get, make sure they are tight as water/mud get in and its all over for the cv joint. imo
