Thanks RickybOBBy, do yo think the newm clamp can be 'opened' as such so as to avoid having to take of cv joint and boot and passed up shaft? I checked realoem and all i found was package shown in pic, parts 05 that included bellow and one cliip but does not point to the smaller clip although shown in pic....hmmmmm will have to dig further at least a relief to know that dealers stocks it....jeez nightmare
