    Well, thanks for the sarcasm. That was the plan for today, but then the wife said let me try on my computer and it worked. I didnt think that it would work since the first time I tried to order them I got the same error message. Must be something wrong with my computer.

    Boots are on the way....

    Ascinder do you have a clamp tool?

    CrnCnn,

    I have the tool to hold the strap tight. Is that what you're looking for?

    I don't have anything to crimp the bands though. I tried to use a screw driver & it worked but not very well.

    PM me if you need me to send you the tightener (taking Eric's tool sharing concept to new levels).

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

    I am not sure either I guess. I thought I had to get a crimping tool. I will let you know, Thank you.

    The tightener is the only odd tool you need to install the bands. But use a screwdriver to bend the tabs over, then hammer them down tight. When you cut off the excess band metal, leave enough to fold over the tabs and hammer that down on top. The band itself will then be in a Z shape with the tabs kinda sandwiched. That keeps everything nice and neat and tight.

    I read in a post, I think it was Billy's write up for the CV boot change, that Swordy suggested using zip ties. Something about the fact that it will allow the boot to slide a little on you axles so in turn they don’t tear as fast from stretching.

    Anything loose enough to slide would perhaps let water in, no?

    I heard that it is possible to use Mitsubishi Montero CV boots instead and they lasts longer. Haven't tried by myself though.
