You need to repack it with fresh grease (likely all yours goo'd all over the area) and then reclamp it with a cv clamp. A hose clamp will off set the weight and likely cause a vibration.

yea there is grease everywhere kinda figured a hose clamp would do that. is there a better clamp out there or are they pretty much all the same.

There's two types. One is a crimp style and the other is a pull and fold over style.
Personally though. I go down, spend $60 for a new axle and put it in. It's not worth the $10 or so savings after buying the tool and parts to fix an axle boot.
