Im using my small window of time to attempt a rear bearing replacement. I amanged to get the tools I need for the bearings but I also need to change the axle boot. Would this not be a perfect time to replace it when the hubs are off and access is easy?

I just dont know if theres a way to strap them on without some special tool. It this possible? Its an "EMPRI C.V. boot kit" It came with the boot, a pack of grease and two metal clamps that have several holes that a small hook-like piece fits into slots almost like a hose clamp, but instead of adjusting with a screwdriver you have to squeeze the clamp in order for the hook to reach the desired hole.

Any tools that can do the job well? Otherwise are there easy to come-by clamps that can do the job as well?

Thanks
Michael
