SPF CV Joint Boot Leaking

Recently I discovered some leakage from the left inner CV boot on my early SPF (Ford 8.8 IRS). A few years ago the right inner boot also had a leak and I fixed it using a standard CV clamp and a special tool I got at NAPA. I would fix this guy in the same way except the location of the boot puts the clamp in a place where it is surrounded by the frame. Not all sides are built the same way I guess.

Any suggestions on clamping this boot? Right now it has a nylon tie holding it tight but a recent test ride is showing some leakage. Does anyome make a crimping tool that can be used from the side? Any thoughts?

Bob
