Hose clamp on CV Boots?

Post by lax2wlg »

4" plumbing hoseclamp on outer CV boot?

Anyone done this for a field repair or permanent?

I've heard of it being done, wondering if it might be easier without a banding tool

As long as you have enough clearance for the worm drive I can't see any reason why not.

I use safety tie wire on mine, have used cable ties with pretty good success in the past.
