I was wondering if I could use a stepless ear oetiker on the pto boot instead of the clamp that was stock it looks a little different but I just wanted to make sure it would be cool thanks!

I just replace them with a ziptie. It's a low stress point. You just need something to hold it closed, so grease doesn't spray out.

I actually like the OEM type oetiker clamps. with the right tool you can easily remove and reinstall it.

Ok thanks for the suggestions guys!

There is another option, you can get a stainless steel cable tie at Home Depot, they have rounded edges so it shouldn't cut into the rubber boot, and they look almost original.

Good idea! I was thinking of using a Thomas and betts zip tie with the stainless insert but I like that even better plus I need to swing by and pick up some tools anyway so I will check those out. Thanks

you know you can source OEM clamps at a a reasonable price. remember they spin at 7k...

Pale, you got me thinking I did go out of my way to buy all new oetiker clamps for everything so I looked into it and the site store has the clip clamps for $6.99 not bad for a piece of mind although I value everybodies suggestions highly I might just go with the manual on this one just to be safe. will this tool work on the stock clamps it's a oetiker specific tool?

don`t think so, those look like the kind for the ears pinch clamps. the oem oetikers use very tiny points/tines to grab the clamp and squeeze so the clamp rotates in itself and locks into place...

I don`t have the model I have in front of me, but look in my build thread and there should be a pic of the pliers...

Looking at that pic I think you might need the other style that it's like the flat jaw ones you posted, but there it's a foot that comes down to push down on the clamp, your looked like tools a fairer uses. I've seen many horses get shoe'd by a fairer and they all have those pliers.

Like these, but your pic is blurry. I have seen 2 different styles. I like the ones that take the first type of pliers. I never liked house clamps on there our cable ties, both look back woods to me......but in a pinch they work fine. I like the fact that I can just keep reusing the same one over and over.

yup those are the ones I have, and I also like that I can reuse the clamps as long as you don`t cannibalize them when removing them.

when I do install new, like I just did again, I keep the older ones as spares... OSD has a very good price for these clamps...
