CV boot clamp tool

[SlowKrawl]

I know, I can buy this tool from the dealership. Trying to avoid the local stealership as of right now. I am doing a boot on my outlander 1000 and I have a tool for doing automotive cv's, but the clamp on the quad looks to be a little different? If anyone could link me to the proper tool for tightening the clamps that would make this job 1000 times easier. Thanks,

Are they all the same though? Like I said, I have one for doing automotive boots, but it doesn't look like it will work. I could be mistaken, this is my first go at a cv boot lol.

Arff, thanks for the offer but I am looking to buy one. Unfortunately I have a bad feeling this won't be my last encounter with a cv boot lol. Damn IFS/IRS...I would own a solid axle quad if it didn't ride like a little red wagon. Maybe that's why honda's are red?

My quad doesn't ride like a little red wagon and I have a solid axle...lol Not a Honda though. Rides pretty damn good for an old beater it is...hahaha (when the IFS front end ain't broke...hehehe)

Anyways I was looking at the one from Princess Auto as well....just wasn't too sure either though!!

The tool at Acklands is 100+ dollars, the exact same tool is 25 at Euro Auto on west end. Works really good on quads.

Napa also sells a universal one

I hold the tail with vice grips and pry a flat screw driver against the vice grips then bend it over fast and easy

similar to this except when you pull pry with a screwdriver against the clip and vice grip

The clamps on my outlander are different than in that video. I'm begining to think I will need a "can am" tool.

I have the can am tool can lend it to ya no problem

Thanks for the offer, I chose to go get cornholed at turples for the tool...I'll probably end up selling it, $83 tools are too rich for my blood and I plan on switching to an aftermarket boot.

Princess auto has it and it works very well, It squeezes and pushes it flat at the same time. Like I said it works well and I think I only paid 29 bucks for it.

$19....

There are two types of clamp pliers, eared and earless. You probably need the earless type. The Princess auto ones are junk. I made my own using an old pair of Channel lock/waterpump pliers. Simple and pretty much free.

You and your GHETTO boot clamps

Thought I'd never say this but Polaris boot clamps work well. I have every boot clamp tool made and paid a small fortune for them. The best tool in my box is a homemade jobber I made from a pair of channel lock pliers same as riverjet.
