Help....... OK what's the trick to getting the left (driver) side boot on? Or is the one I have TOO small? I can't seem to get the inside portion of the boot over the flange so that I can clamp it d

And Joe Curry answered: Just to build on what Joe said, the gaiter 'kits' commonly sold have two different sized 'boots' in them, left-hand side and right-hand side. Make sure you install the correct

No joy....... got enough grease on there already.... edges just curl under or slide into area beneath flange. Not enough room to get fingers in and stretch it over the flange. Anybody else ever had

Bob...take the open end of the gaiter (boot) and fold it back on itself about an inch or two. Then try to force fit the open end to the flange and when you have it as tight as before, unfold the ope
