Goofed on CV axle reboot - need bend over clamp band sourcing

[NoVA_T4R]

Hello,

I was doing a CV axle reboot using Timmy the Toolman's video as a guide.

I had copied down the instructions, to include the CV boot stretch mod, but didn't need to do that particular part.

When I got to the part when you clip off the metal band for the rubber ring for boot mod (at 15:40 in his video), I actually did it, forgetting I was not doing the boot stretch.

When it came time to clamp on the band, I had unintentionally left the rubber ring off the groove, and I clamped the boot clamp without it there. The clamp did not hold since the rubber ring was not there.

My request is where can I get the "bend back, lie flat" metal clamp band for the rubber ring as well as the crimp style band for the boot?

All my internet search efforts have not helped for the bend back clamp. The closest article I found was this one, which kinda helped with a possible boot clamp replacement, but not for the rubber ring:

Thanks in advance.

Probably not reading this as close as I should, but can you just use this kit?

GhostRing,

That URL came back as "We looked everywhere! Looks like this page is missing."

For better context, I was using the OEM Front Drive Axle Reboot kit.

I'm looking for a vendor that carries the bend back style clamp bands.

they usually have the size printed on them, but not sure toyota sells these individually since they won't sell inner and outer boot kits separately, I usually reuse the old ones when I reboot the inner tripod with aftermarket boots.

D'oh!
I think I fixed it, but adding the link was being super weird
(can't tell if it's this busted-ass site or not)

Anyway, it's a set of rounded edge worm-drive clamps like this:

*if the pic link even works...
I had only used the inners, but they've been holding for years.

I found one of the OEM clamps in a box from my re-boot-stretch mod.
It's yours if you want it. Just IM me when you get a chance.
