CV Boot clip

[Lee-182]

When changing my brakes noticed grease and turd everywhere, there was no clip on the boot so i rushed to the DIY shop and got a jublee clip as i thought it would be idle, But the head on the jublee clip hits a head of a nut and a lip of where the brake line go, So i have to pull the boot back a little more.

Will this be ok? seems to be ok.

I THINK that should be ok. Mine came off and Im using a big zip tie!

Thats what i did. and mine was fine. Allthough its like an unbalanced wheel if you think about it. It would be better if you got come brake cleaner/degreaser and cleaned it up so it doesnt slip off.

Yeh clean it up the best you can, as all the excess flicks off onto the alloys, which is a pain to get off!

yeah ive cleaned it up, tried all the dif degreaser i got and it just smears. I tried a cable tie but i couldnt get it tight and the boot just slid back and forth.

Just hope theres enough meatal underneith for the clip to clap down on.

I used cableties on mine but didnt hold. might jubilee it.

any vibrations? dont think you should have but never know.

only took it for a quick run down the road to see if brakes work, if i get any ill just take it somewhere to fit the proper clip
