Mate, I think there is a special pair of pliers that tighten those clamps and you will need a new clamp as well.

Mate I think you can get them from most good tool shops or bearing shops. I dont think there that expensive. I think Ed's idear is a good one on the short term for an emergencey fix but you want to do it right for the long term. CV's can get expensive. Mate if you ever blow a CV make sure you go to an autmotive CV specialist first because 9/10 they can rebuild your CV at a fraction of the cost of a new one. Best of luck.

A good pliers will do the job, just make sure to secure it well.
