In the course of two short trips around town, I found the clamp on the garage floor after installing the first clamp. There was a break in the wire. Replaced the old one with a new one that I installed with a slight degree of This should stand the test of time. It's a good thing they are cheaper than one and there are a lot of them. As I should have, I used ear crimpers. It was plenty big enough for the front axles of an Audi A6 C5.
When ordering from Amazon and not receiving the product described on the website, there is no greater frustration. Reading reviews on Amazon, it seems like Amazon is plagued by this problem. Most of the time, if a product has more than 5% one star reviews, you should pay attention to it. The only bands I got were large, as with other reviews. My order has been canceled. I must reorder. Furthermore, I am sure that these too are of a poor quality, like other reviews.
While CV boot clamps seem to be difficult to install, these work OK if, (1) the axle shaft is level without drooping down, (2) the inside joint of the boot is not angled down, and (3) the boot can be pushed toward the engine to The process of seating is easier if you are able to manually rotate the axle as you push the boot inwards. When you have to take the car out of PARK to rotate the axle, make sure the brake calipers are still mounted to the rotors or you might have trouble putting them back on) You will probably need to use a boot clamp pliers to secure the clamp In addition to the 30500, which is one of the few clamp removal tools that actually grips and extends the old clamp, I also used the Accuflex 1000.

My experience with it differs from those of other reviewers since I used it twice and both times it was a success and holds CV boots on both the The potential issues were already evident to me so I put the cord on very carefully. I had to tap the clamp this way and that with every tight pull. In other words, if you don't do this, the first pin will tend to come out while the other two will catch In addition, the right tool needs to be used, or else it will fail. There is also the fact that it digs inwards (inside the boot) which I don't like. Overall, not recommended if there is a better choice.
This kit was used to replace the CV boot clamp on my 4Runner that had become damaged. I had some luck with the first one I installed (correctly, using the correct special crimping tool) but it spontaneously broke after about five minutes. A second clamp was installed with a little less than the specified force, and it has held up well so far. A word of caution when installing these they are not the strongest or of the highest quality.
I believe it still had about 10 feet left when These clamps were used to hold my CV boot in place after it had been replaced with a new one. Inspection of this clamp revealed that it was of good quality and strength. fit over my head perfectly and crimped down as it should. Everything seemed fine until I took it for a test drive to be sure it would last. It had snapped on one of the corners of the part's crimps together when I arrived back at the parking spot after the test drive. It had been about 10 feet away when I last saw it, 10 feet away from the parking spot it was in before the test drive. I was very disappointed, as you can imagine.

It would have been wise to take the advice from previous I saw them do it, but thought maybe they weren't doing it right or using the right JUNK! They were right, they were right!
