<< Listers,
 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 down. The
 original boot has a bigger diameter opening on that end, but I figured
 that was due to time and stretching. So I guess my question is: Is the
 inner opening of the boot supposed to fit over the flange tightly, with
 stretching, or just slide over and be secured with the clamp? With all
 the grease on the rack, it sure is tough to get a hold on the boot to
 try to stretch it over the flange.... There MUST be an easier way.....
 Hope someone can help.
 
 TIA for any advice.
 
 Cheers
