This is a quick thread, hopefully in the right section.
Will this repair fly?
I used this Bailcast CV Boot Repair Kit and I cut the boot too short to clamp tight by normal means.
So I used some Gorilla tape to secure the wider end to the outer race. Then I used the crimping tool to get the clamps as tight as I could. I really did not want to have to buy another $25 kit so I'm hoping this is good to go. I'll check in on it regularly once driving but if you have an opinion I'd love to hear some thoughts!
Here is a vid of the play I currently am getting on the lower clamp and I'll include some pictures for context as well.
Thanks!
Before the tape:
Before the clamp, 2 layers of Gorilla tape:
I actually acquired the right tool for the job:
Clamps tightened but top one all sideways due to boot cut wrong, hence the reason for gorilla tape:
