For this reason, manufacturers now specify a torque figure that the boot clamps have to be tightened to.<\/p>\n<p>If the clamps are not tightened to the specified torque figure, the boots could leak. The CV Boot Clamp Pliers from Laser Tools (part number 7316) is a robust, strongly manufactured tool that features a 3\/8in drive and is specifically designed to be used with a torque wrench.<\/p>\n<p>The clamp pliers are fitted with two-way jaws, set at 90\u00b0 to each other, which greatly assists in gaining access to the clamp in the busy suspension\/driveshaft areas. The smooth action of the pliers makes it easy to ensure compliance with the torque settings specified by the manufacturer; this figure is typically between 23 and 30 Nm, depending on the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>A professional tool designed for the professional workshop and available from your Laser Tools Supplier. The 7316 CV Boot Clamp Pliers are typically priced at \u00a3107.68 inc VAT.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to check for the best prices and special offers with more details from\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lasertools.co.uk\/\">www.lasertools.co.uk<\/a>\u00a0<\/u><strong>ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>For drive-shaft and constant velocity joint rubber boots, traditionally the securing clamps have simply been compressed with clamp pliers.
