Original style 914-6 terminal (aka dust bellows boot clamp) 914-332-335-00 for CV joints appear to be NLA. I assume I can reuse my protection caps and add new dust bellows. That leaves the clamp. I'll try to reuse my existing clamps, but if that fails does anyone have experience with:
I'm honestly not sure how you secure the Porsche one. |

All the CV boots now have the rubber boot crimped into them. They do not fit over the top and have the band.

He's talking about the boot clamp where is fits to the axle itself.
I too need this part. No way I'd choose the Porsche strap over the McMasters pinch clamp. You really need the correct pinch clamp pliers but a straight end cutting dyke will work if your careful. The pinch clamp will not fail if it's installed properly. These are the correct pliers https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-30800-Boot-Cla...85293&psc=1 |

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Jul 11 2023, 06:39 AM)  All the CV boots now have the rubber boot crimped into them. They do not fit over the top and have the band. I have found a couple vendors selling the boot separate. I don't know about the fit. They don't appear to have the bottom lip molded into the rubber. Maybe it's not necessary. QUOTE(technicalninja @ Jul 11 2023, 07:54 AM) He's talking about the boot clamp where is fits to the axle itself. These are the correct pliers I probably didn't articulate well. I was actually referring to the wider base of the boot that attaches to the "protection cap" as the catalog calls it. There wasn't a clamp at the small end of the bellows on our car. I'm not seeing on listed in the parts catalog either. Thanks for the plier link.  |

This it the best advise you got so far. The oetiker (sp) clamp is used for pex plumbing also. Lowes and most auto parts stores has them to rent.

Or are they not for pressurized applications? Sorry if it’s obvious to some, I’ve never heard of this clamp but would buy the tool if its useful enough. . |

SS screw clamps found in the plumbing department. I would screw up the plier, clamping stuff.

Pex used in hydronic heating is pressure tested at 80psi+.

For anyone following along, some more datapoints:
The Rein rubber boot part is about 5mm smaller opening (48 mm) on the large end of the boots compared to what I took off our car, despite it being associated with 901-332-293-11 as found in the factory parts catalog. I don't see how you would get them to fit. You could argue the original stretched over time, but if you are able to get 901-332-293-10 from Stoddard, it is the correct size (53mm). Even then it was a struggle to get them on. I was very careful removing the terminal (aka boot clamp). As such I was able to get them replated and reuse them thanks to some nice ear clamp pliers. |

I've had good luck with SS Zip Ties for use on things that aren't under much or any pressure:
https://www.acehardware.com/departments/lig...mp;gclsrc=aw.ds You can even buy a little hand tool that will pull them tight. Low profile, clean looking, never failed me yet. Used them on T1 Swing Axel Boots and other CV boots. |
