Abstract
A method for fixing a boot of a constant velocity universal joint includes fitting the boot to an outer periphery of an outer joint member, causing a boot band to circle around an outer periphery of the boot, and fastening the boot by reducing a diameter of the boot band. A portion of the boot band to which a pressing force in an inner diameter direction is applied when the diameter of the boot band is reduced is arranged in a circumferential region of a thin portion of the boot.
