How to get the CV Boot clip on tight?
Hello All,
Thanks to this forum I was able to replace my worn CV Joints. After getting everything back together I did an inspection and noticed my CV boot clip isn't as tight as it should be. Can someone please share this technique? Is a tightening tool used? Good source for newer and improved cv boot clips? T.I.A.

Thank you Everyone!
I was thinking my piano fingers just aren't strong enough to squeeze this tight enough. Now I see that even the big manly man hands of this forum use a tool for this! Sure Bradical, I'll pass it on to you Thanks again!
