CV boot clamp Pliers Question
 

Gearing up to tackle a CV boot replacement. I'm ordering everything here and have this clamp in my cart:
999-512-315-02-M395

My question is which pliers do I need to put this on?

This is what I used with the lobro kit 1987 - 930

Cv Boot Clamp Pliers-Ear Type $22.77
TOL-LIS30800

Worked great !

Dont make it any more difficult than it needs to be...Buy some large zipties and use your regular pliers and wire cutters to pull tight and cut to size.

Thanks guys.
Any other opinions?

I first used a small pair of channel locks and then a wire splicer for the small clamps.

Both worked fine but for the larger clamps I bought/rented this from Autozone:

Those are Oetiker clamps supplied with the rebuild kit. I would buy Oetiker pliers

They are cheap and are a good investment as you will find that Porsche likes using Oetiker clamps througout your pcar's chassis.

Thanks again but I really just want to purchase them here. I'm clueless which ones I need from the above links to work with the cv clamps sold here on pelican.

Perhaps your best solution is to call Pelican and ask them.

The pliers I bought didn't look like any that you have listed. I tired zip ties, but could not get them to stop spraying grease when on track. I bought my pliers at NAPA. They didn't cost much. The boots are now 100% leak free.
