    Had to replace a boot other day and I ordered off Amazon the tool and bands and wow. There crap. Broke all of them before my last one finally was tight enough to had the greese in. What’s the best bands to buy non-oem?

    Don’t know. Used dealer boot kits around $20 and called it a day.

    Here’s what I done that has worked so far. Double wrapped the large ban for small end of boot. Installed as tight as could without breaking it locked it down. Then I put a screw type clamp over that clamp and tighten it until it broke and then removed the screw clamp. It seems to have crimped the band down tight.
