Thanks Tango. Starting to get my head around actually doing job. But going to check with local shops first re re-booting.

In meantime, car is on jack stands and I have boots cleaned up. Only major cracking is near to band next to outer can. Driver side worse than passenger. The inner boots have almost no cracking. When I did a major rust prevention job on this car, I painted everything under car with a polyurethane product similar to POR-15. I had dabbed some of it onto the boots. It is still there and very hard to remove.

Want to get car back on road, so I am going to apply a flexible polyurethane adhesive/sealant to the cracked areas and see how that holds up for rest of summer. If it sticks as well as the paint did, it should be OK! I realize I will need to do a proper job eventually!
