    Thank you so much for all the good info "MSHardeman", I really appreciate it. I have to see that Honda and Toyota have Isuzu beat on this design. I have seen so many YouTube video where the inner PC cup just snaps in or out of position without having to remove the axle shaft. Well I know three of my CV boot bands will stay in place...I can't say the same for the band that goes around the green cup...That was a bitch to get to, and I could not use a banding tool on it because of not having a straight shot at it...That was the only reason why I wanted to remove the whole CV axle!

    You're welcome. That's what we're all here for; to help each other out. Some of us, myself included, have used heavy duty zip ties to hold the CV boots on. When I replaced my half shafts I didn't have a banding tool and ended up using zip ties on the green cups until I could get the VX to a shop to have them install proper band clamps. Zip ties worked like a charm and it was easier for them to do the band clamps since they could raise the VX up in the air to get a better angle on the green cups.
