so, like the tool that i am, i decided that it would be a good idea to try and pull the hub off my brothers Ford Contour without a puller tool.(the bearing is done for, so we were gonna get a new one pressed in) well needless to say, i boinked it. the inner CV boot clamp popped off durring our efforts and now i have a, otherwise fine, seperated half shaft.

does anyone know where i can get some more CV grease, another clamp, and the tool to cinch it? are these run-o-the-mill auto parts store finds?

you can get all of the parts at a local auto store. and to squeeze the clamp you can use a pair of dikes.
