This tool is required to properly service Oetiker low-profile drive axle boot clamps.
The double-fulcrum design of CH-48894 accommodates one-handed operation and
the working end is designed to properly interface the Oetiker low-profile clamps without damaging the clamps (fig. 7). Attempts to service the low-profile drive axle clamps
without this tool may result in component damage and/or increased labor time.

figure 7

Applicable SI procedures are being revised to refer to this tool.

- Thanks to Kevin Willcock and Dave Libby
