Experience:
The clamp grips the clamping ring satisfactory as ear forceps.
Unfortunately, the material of the axle boot of producers varies to manufacturer. Soft rubber cuffs can be surely sufficient squeezing, but harder plastic material, for example from Febi is not sufficiently pressed. As a result, then the molybdenum grease squeezes under the clamping ring during the journey through time to the outside.
Or even worse, at the maximum steering angle, the Boot jumps on the compensating joint (constant velocity joint). (Toll; ()
If you then must ran again and attaches with the forceps is a by now aware that the plier handles
1. too short
2. only from bent sheet metal, so too unstable
3. Also the pliers head is to laberig because formed from pressed sheet.
and thus the pressing pressure is too low to provide a reliable squeezing of the "ear's" to accomplish.
Thus "must" I reuse my old pincers with blunt-ground cutting jaws, because, although the "ear" bad attacks and, above all, at the center not holding down this but at least has rigid handles, which can be pushed if necessary still 2 tube top to compress strong ..
Conclusion: It does not depend on the material related to the Boot, if you've done 100% bad buy or possibly just. A reliable pinch is with these pliers at least not possible!
