I use cv pliers with SMALL PINCHER tips,easy to install clamps! Most auto stores have them. about $28</end quote></div>


I have asked every auto parts store around here and while my spanish is not that good I think they have told me they do not have these, is there a particular store that I may have missed?

 

try the needle nose...they do need to have longer handles and I had to use 2 pair...might save you some pesoes amego....

 

That video I done awhile back showing how to remove the stock clamp. I always go back with the stock clamps because they are very easy to get off and put back on with regular pliers.

 

I bought my cv band tool from our local matco dealer. Very easy to use. It makes it so easy. I've had mine for 8 years. Regular needle nose suck (in comparison) and can slip off and damage the clamp. Aftermarket boot kits suck in general for the most part

 

i finally got the stupid things on, in the future will the dealership sell the exact bands that came off it in the first place, i like those better. thanks for all the help.

 

Now that your done and not in a rush - look around, I went to the local -Motor Supply- auto parts store and bought the tool that tightens and clips off the excess all in one shot. Its not Snap-On quality but still has lifetime warranty and cost me $22. and the clamps are $3. and some change, sold individually or in packages of 6.

 

i have two types of pliers for the boot clamps but if you go buy the clamps they are a different type than what your pliers will work need to make a standard boot clamp to save confusion and anger LOL

i just bought these to fix the cv boot on my hawkeye and they were $10 at auto zone.

 

yeah, I got to get me one of those... thanks.

 

For $11.99 these are the best I have tried to use out of over half a dozen pairs, best part is they DO NOT require Polaris cv bands I been using automotive bands @ 1.99 to 3.99ea. Simple and have pictures to follow for those of us reading impaired-lol-they are super easy to use and any Motor Supply or Nappa ussually has them in stock -- http://www.mechanicstoolsupply...300_A_productID_E_2331 --- you can never have enough tools.
