Am i going to need any specific tools to make this job easier?

Looking at getting a cone thing to help get the boots on, but not sure about the clips that hold the boot onto the shaft. It's not a jubilee clip is it, it looks like some other kind of clip. Do i need a specific tool to get these bad boys on?

Cone is very helpful, plus washing up liquid to help it go over the cone, no need for special tools to put the clips on as far as I remember when doing some.

I think the clip is called an elephant ear type clip, I got a special plier type tool for this from eBay, less than a fiver I think :scratch:

Did this a few months ago pliers and wire cutters work. And a little flathead to open up the brass clip. Or pick up my two driveshafts when you get the hubs:D
