Also, if I never see joint grease again it will be too soon!

I've got a pair of Porsche CV clamps (I found them!) I'll take to Napa and find out an equivalent part # and report back .

It was a bust, all they had were the stainless zip tie slide sort of universal CV Boot Clamp. Of course I had to get the one unhelpful/unfriendly guy that is there, that I always seem to get... So there may be a better match at NAPA but I was unable to find it. At lunch I will slide over to O'reilly and Advance and see what they have. It looks like Dorman might make a compatible one under their "Dorman Help" product line.

You probably have this info already off the old clamp, but the large clamp says 74 OETIKER so maybe that will help identify the right clamp.

It looks like this might be it:

CV Boot Clamp 99951248600 - Oetiker - Porsche - 999-512-486-00 | Pelican Parts

Bummer that the ones you got were too loose, which ones did you get?
