Questions & Answers
br>You should be able to get the band's end out of the screw clamp and wrap it around the axle.
The bands were a perfect fit for the axles. 1 is the smallest. The medium is 5/8 inches, while the large is 4 inches. At its widest point, it's 1/5in.
Your vehicle should be able to use these. I ordered these because I couldn't find any in my local auto parts or hardware stores. They were a total success. My Tundra is a 2012 with a Pro Comp lift of 6 inches. I hope this information is useful.
I'd say at least 6" without going outside and crawling under the truck to measure one. My original clamps kept popping, so this was a great solution.

First and foremost, the large clamp on my 2015 Tacoma caused clearance issues. There was something there. With the factory lower ball joints, there is a clearance of 025 between the screw and the lower control arm. These will have to come off when those are replaced, I'm afraid. Finally, the clamp is too wide to seat the boot in the machined groove on the CV shaft housing, so it's just a compression fit over the top, which isn't as secure as an actual CV boot clamp. br>Lastly, the screw interferes with the mount for the ABS speed sensor wire mount, so you'll need to bend that up about a 1/2 inch or else you'll probably break the clamp or your ABS wire when you go to drive your rig. I'll keep these for another project, but they're insufficient for the stated purpose.
I'm not sure if they're metric or not, but the SAE size that fits them is a strange 1, but they work fine. If I overtighten the larger clamps, the dumb adapter that is required for my particular 4runner can pop out, but they work great if you are careful.
I haven't tried the small clamps yet, but the large ones are perfect for an 06 Tundra DC.
These are simple to put together and incredibly durable! During a regrease, each of the four CV boots was replaced. So far, there have been no issues (2 months).
