CV BOOT CLAMPS??

[lmcarraher]

Does any one know of a alternative way of strapping down cv boots other than the clamps that you need a special tool for? I tried zip ties with bad results ,,this has become a major problem for me.
Any help would be appreciated.

You have to use the zip ties with the metal wire in them.

You want Thomas & Betts zip ties for the metal chingadera

WHERE CAN I FIND THEM??

Unless it is an emergency, zip ties are a bad idea. Invest in the tool and you will be money ahead in the long run.

x2....But the zip ties with the metal wire was a good trail fix.... They worked real good on the class 1 car.

I had used the stainless metal ties for muffler wrap ,work great any auto parts store.

Those look nice ,but I don't they would work on the front of a RZR because you have the A-ARM bracket in the way , but I don't think your using them on a RZR anyway . I like Kartech they got cool chit .

I went through this same issue. Tried all kinds of things, but nothing really worked the way I wanted it to. The guys at Cognito turned me on to this and it works great! You can use it for many other things too. Check it out:

Some one hasn't been to the County Fair in a while Bought one of those 20 years ago at Quartzite AZ! They work pretty good for a lot of things, but not Boot Repair!

In a pinch somethings better than nothing lol

I don't know about "Boot Repair," but I'm using stainless wire to hold down the cv boots on my type II axles and it works great. It can be a little tricky to line the wire up just right, but once you do it holds very well. Like I said, the Cognito guys are using this method on their R1 Rhinos and they have success with it too.

Go to autozone and as for Part Number: 03644
Alternate Part Number: UF2060

They are universal cv clamps that don't need the tool. $3 per side of each axle.

Seems like my safety wire and safety wire pliers I use on everything.

 

[sand shark]

The Kartech ones should be just fine. It is similar to a hose clamp and much easier to tighten then the normal clamps. Just make sure you have the clearance.

 

[dbestduner]

lol i dont know how the regular ones dont work for youguys...

that wire clamp is cool tho!

 

[lmcarraher]

In a pinch Duct tap Wire Zip ties and the new Rescue Tape Whatever gets you back! But it is easy to go on Amazon and buy the right clamps and the right tool and it's cheap!

i know it is pb .
but im trying not to have to take the axles off again ..lol

Thanks for the reminder. I have one of my CV boots attached with tie wire! Probably been riding around like that for 2+ years! Guess I must have installed it tight? All this for some clamps?
