Anyone around Knoxville have a CV boot clamp tool?

Truck is torn apart and I forgot to order the tool. No local places seem to have them. If I ordered one online I wouldn't have it till mid to late next week because of the holiday. Any help is appreciated.

 

Hose clamp for now until you get the crimp tool and you are able do it right.

 

I bet my father in law has one. I will ask him when I get over there. Where in knox are you

 

I'm in LaFollette, but I'll drive to Knox.

 

I'm rebuilding the CVs and forgot to order the tool. All of the hose clamps I've seen are too wide and look like they will rip the boot if installed.

 

If i had one i’d meet you today.


saw you last week at the red light by get n go you had the boat, i was the one in the silver taco that waved.

 

Side cutters can work. Not as well, but they do the job

 

You should be able to source narrow band clamps that are 3/8" wide at the actual clamp and 1/4"+ to5/16" on the band at Lowes or Homers Depot.

 

Found him one locally

 

Yep. Thanks. They worked. I got one CV re-booted today and installed the diff drop kit. Will do the other tomorrow.

 

Yeah. I saw you a waved too. I blew out a CV boot later that night after I saw you.

 

Thanks. I went to Lowes tonight and they must have been allergic to them. I found some pretty nifty stainless steel cable ties online that I think I'm going to try.

 

yeah. and dang that sucks!

I all ways know it’s you, never sen another white taco with ARB around here. i see a red 2nd gen some with an arb.
