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.

Yep, there's a tool for that...

Try googling "CV JOINT BOOT CLIP TOOL" :)

Can I borrow it when you are done with it? :D

Here's what I use: http://www.amazon.com/Lisle-30800-Boot-Clamp-Pliers/dp/B0002SREPY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1407432967&sr=8-2&keywords=cv+clamp+tool

Free for loan in Colorado.

You could check AutoZone. They loan out a lot of tools for free.

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!
