An eBay seller sells improved cv clamps that diminish boot leaks on lifted FJs. Search eBay for FJ Cruiser CV Axle Repair Clamps. muzzys_wholesale

 

Order one of those ^^^ in the mean time get a hose clamp with a screw tightner.

 

I have been running one of these for about 4 years now and it still works great. No need to buy the expencive clamp.

 

You can use a worm gear clamp to get you by.

I put them on and my CVs still dry after many years.

Thanks a lot guys!

 

Go to a fastener shop that sells stainless steel cable ties. They come in various sizes and are very stout. The clamping portion is much thinner than a hose clamp. Get the installation tool. It looks like a screwdriver with no tip and a slot in the end. Just tighten and trim the excess. They aren't removable though. You have to cut them off.

The best worm gears are SILICONE EMBOSSED HOSE CLAMP NORMA TORRO- they are stainless steal and have rounded edges so no matter how hard you clamp- youll never cut into the CV boot and damage it. Thats what I use.

Sold on Ebay.

Larger- 90-110MM
Smaller- 25-40MM

 

Well it turns out the clamp was busted and the boot had ripped so my problem is no longer a $2 fix haha, but thanks anyway for all the help, I'll probably switch to those clamps once my rig gets out of the shop.

 

If they place the actual Toyota clamps- Id leave them- They should last a long time. Mine were replaced with the wrong ones (not Toyota ) and they looseded up which caused mud to get into the CV and killed it. Expensive loss

 

these are now available (both sizes) through CAPhardwaresupply.com just FYI for all of you fellow leakers.

the norma-torro clamps thin band (9mm) stainless

 

I cant find the norma torro ones on ebay. I only found a us stock place on ebay that sales alph rider brand i guess... anyone tried those ones? Im not spending 40$ for hose clamps shipped from australia
