FYI - If you are planning to reuse original clamps for inner boot, don't.
I did and it wasn't tight enough so some of the lithium grease was squeezed out and shot all over the place, just like its sibling did when it tore.
I replaced the POS clamp last night with a screw clamp, snug as a bug now with no grease spray.
I think I put too much grease in there to begin with, but i may inject a little more in when I do the brakes soon just to be safe
BTW - i reused outer clamps without issue. I think these are easier to get tighter because to outer boot is softer.
Either way these OEM clamps for for SHIT. I would like to meet the retard who designed them.
