FAQs

What are the exact sizes of the clamps included in this set?

This 2-piece set includes one clamp for 25-50mm applications and another for 54-120mm applications.

Do I need special tools to install these clamps?

Yes, specialized CV boot clamp pliers (like Laser Part No. 7316) or hose clip fitting pliers (like Laser Part No. 8261) are recommended for proper installation and to achieve the visible deformation indicator.

Can these clamps be reused?

These clamps are designed for single-use, secure installation. For optimal performance and seal integrity, it is recommended to use new clamps for each repair.

What is the band width and thickness of these clamps?

The band width is 7.0mm, and the thickness is 0.8mm.

Are these clamps suitable for all types of CV boots?

They are suitable for use with aftermarket constant velocity joint (CVJ) rubber boots. Compatibility may vary with specific OEM boot designs and shaft sizes.

What does the visible deformation indicate?

The visible deformation on the clamp's ear signifies that sufficient pressure has been applied to create a secure, leak-proof closure around the CV boot.

Are there other sizes available from Connect Oetiker?

Yes, other sizes are available, such as 25-40 mm (Part No. 32297) and 50-110 mm (Part No. 32298).

Troubleshooting

Clamp does not deform properly

Ensure you are using the correct type of pliers designed for Oetiker-style clamps. Check that the clamp is correctly sized for the boot and shaft. Apply steady, firm pressure with the pliers.

Visible deformation, but clamp feels loose

Re-inspect the clamp position on the boot. Ensure the boot is seated correctly. Attempt to re-apply pressure with the pliers, focusing on a uniform squeeze of the ear.

Clamp band is damaged during installation

Verify the clamp size is appropriate for the application. Ensure the pliers are not misaligned. The rounded band edges are designed to prevent damage, but excessive force or incorrect tool usage could still cause issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a secure and reliable closure for CV boots.
  • Installation is straightforward and time-efficient.
  • Visual indicator simplifies the confirmation of a correct seal.
  • Reduced risk of boot damage due to rounded edges.
  • Adjustable design offers versatility across different vehicle types.

Cons

  • Requires specific fitting pliers for installation (sold separately).
  • The larger clamp may be less suitable for very small diameter boots.
  • Only two sizes are included, which might not cover all applications without overlap consideration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate clamp size based on the CV boot diameter and shaft size. The set includes clamps for 25-50mm and 54-120mm applications.
  2. Slide the clamp over the CV boot, ensuring it is positioned correctly on the boot's designated sealing area.
  3. Use dedicated CV boot clamp pliers (e.g., Laser Part No. 7316) or hose clip fitting pliers (e.g., Laser Part No. 8261) to firmly squeeze the ear of the clamp until deformation is visible, indicating a secure closure.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for use with aftermarket and OEM constant velocity joint (CVJ) rubber boots.
  • Designed for standard automotive CV joint applications.

Care:

  • Keep clamps clean and free from debris before installation.
  • Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
  • Inspect clamps for any signs of damage before use.
