Hi Wayne. I had the same problem ( but didn't bother to complain ).
The clamp will not fit on the external boot ( wheel side ). Ended up getting the other type ( the one you need to pull and fold ) from auto zone.
Since I decided to remove the whole axel and replace cv joint and boots, the axel was hanging from the wheel after disconnected from transmission.
During that process, the metal cup that covers the outer joint, bent a little bit.
I reshaped it when assembling the axel on the table. When I got to the clamps, I could not fit them. I assumed because the metal cup is bended it doesn't fit. I was missing maybe 2 mm to get the little tooth to the firs hole. I'm sure if the cup wasn't bended The clamp would fit.
I think if you can get a clamp that is couple mm larger, it will save a lot of headache for everyone.
