Where did you get that cone? Is it available online or from a McParts?

I got it from Astoria along with the boots, straps and tool. They were the ones who suggested soaking hot tap water and spraying pledge.

Edit/update:

I mentioned this on a later post but i ended removing the astoria boots and used Dorman boots instead. The astorias gave excess rubber accordioning which resulted into it getting pinched when reinstalling the axles. The Dormans are also a bit more sturdy. They did require more effort to slide in but not bad.
