What tool and what techinque is the easiest way to get axle boot clamps to hold and stay tight. I'm have trouble getting new clamps on my rebuilt axle to stay and lock tight. Is there is certain tool to use or can a just you standard hand tools? I've seen axle boot clamp pliers but I'm still not sure on the technique to use or if this will even work. .... I may just have some wack clamps but I don't think its that.
