Review on OTC 4723 Stinger Ear Type Clamp by Noe Miceli

This tool fits perfectly on my 2003 Saab 9-5. I recently rebuilt the front end with all new brakes, wheel bearings, tie rod ends, struts etc . After removing the wheel hub/bearing I figured I might as well clean/re-seal the outer CV joints and replace the boots. I know most people just buy a remanufactured axle shaft to save time, but I've always been curious if I could rebuild the CV joint myself. After watching a few videos on YouTube, I disassembled the passenger side outer CV joint, then cleaned, relubricated, and installed a new CV boot with clamps using these over-the-counter pliers. This took me about 90 minutes, but then I did the other side in about 45 minutes. So now I have "Joke in CV Joints" and I'm not scared of those things anymore! I think the liner is a lot less likely to fail because it doesn't flex nearly as much as the outer, but I can always go back and fix it if needed. I am attaching a couple of photos showing the inside of the outer CV joint after it has been cleaned of all grease and then filled with synthetic CV joint grease. To the seller of this product: The description is far from bad, I mean some kind of tool for removing hubs for trucks. These are CV trunk clamp pliers.
