ABSTRACT:
A tool for press fitting a circular end of a flexible boot onto the outer race of a constant velocity joint using a press fit endless band clamp fitted to the end of the boot, comprises a main plate member having at least two parts which cooperate to define a circular aperture of a diameter such as to pass around the end of the boot but not around the band clamp and also greater than the outer diameter of the end of the boot, the parts of the main plate member being separable to set the main plate member around the end of the boot. A secondary plate is adapted to fit to the outer race opposite the band clamp and means are provided for drawing said plates toward each other to move the main plate member coaxially and uniformly along a cylindrical surface on the outer race, forcing the band clamp and the end of the boot fitted thereto onto such surface and simultaneously compressing the end of the boot into tight sealing engagement with the surface of the outer race.
