Lisle 30800 CV Boot Clamp Pliers

This tool works on Toyota Camry CV boot, the OEM ones that come with the Toyota kit.The inner boot uses a 102.55 clamp, and a 39mm clamp. The dampener uses 38.8 clamp, and the outside boot uses a 34mm clamp and a 99mm clamp that is thicker than the others.The tan grease goes on the tripod needle bearings on the inner CV. Don't clean the old grease out, because you'll have metal on metal when you first start driving. Just slam more grease in. Vacuum your whole shop and close all the windows before you start, so you don't have dust and metal shavings laying around. The idea is, you want a clean room, and you want to make sure you avoid metal on metal parts when you re-assemble your CV joints.Buy a box of lint free cloth paper towels, and cover the CV joint when you remove the boot, so no dirt or metal shavings or sawdust in your garage can accidentally fall into the CV joint.Do NOT clean any parts with brake cleaner. Wipe it with a rag. If you use brake cleaner, you'll remove the grease film protecting the bearings, the inner races, and the cup (tulip) which allows rust to form. If you clean everything with brake cleaner, then let it sit dry overnight, it will flash rust, and then you could potentially cause more damage than if you had just wiped the grease off with a dry rag.If your CV boot was split, and if you are hearing clicking, then you need to throw away your entire axle, because it's toast. Clicking is metal on metal, and it means the bearing is binding. That means, it's shot.If your boot was just leaking, be sure that the needle bearings or ball bearings weren't make ANY NOISE WHATSOEVER, and make sure they are WET WITH GREASE. If they are wet with grease, then repack the new grease packets in (tan polyurea on the inner) and (black with molybendum extra thick wheel bearing grease) on the outer (ball bearing outside wheel side CV joint).

Well made tool and good quality.

These are great quality and heavy duty. Bought to replace a cheap set that came with a CV boot replacement kit. Those bent after 1 band so I bought these to finish the job. Much higher quality and I expect they will last for years.

Pricey but good quality, better than one I tried to use before that did not really clamp, I must have had a defective/used unit before.
