2b. Because they're so large it's no possible to source a replacement CV band clamp locally. Ashcroft only sell them complete in a kit with the small one and a replacement boot and shipping from the UK is expensive. I found an eBay supplier at
Stainless Steel Drive Shaft / Steering Rack CV Boot Clamp 24…119mm (17 sizes) | eBay but I'd need to check what size it is from my purchase history.
Seriously, if you've gotten 300,000kms out of the original CVs, either run them until they die or replace them with new originals and get another 300,000km from them! If your only running the standard diff or an ATB (or equivalent) they're fairly gentle on them. If your going a locker then yeah the HD ones might be worth the trouble...
