A method for fixing a boot includes mounting a tubular anchoring areas, defined in opposite ends of a resinous boot, on an outer periphery of a counterpart member, and applying a clamping force to boot bands mounted around respective outer peripheries of the tubular anchoring areas to thereby fix the tubular anchoring areas to the outer periphery of the counterpart member. Coils are disposed around respective outer peripheries of the boot bands to generate an induction current in the boot bands. In this way, a reactive force of the magnetic field is generated between the coils and the boot bands to plastically deform the boot bands and reduce their diameters, whereby the tubular anchoring areas are fixed to the outer periphery of the counterpart member.
