The boot material is not heavy enough to withstand getting pinched.

So, now I have to redo that part.
By "accordioning" did you mean the Boot was stretched too tight when installed or that the Boot was collasped too much?

Would not installing the clamp on the small end of the Boot until the Axle is Installed heip prevent it from getting pinched/damaged?
