Big Dave,
I have to try your method next time to see if it works. Thank you for sharing. Do you think the OE boot kit, 126-350-03-37, (boot, grease, and clamps only, no metal casing) can be installed using your method?
J.C. Whitney is selling a universal boot for $10. Please look at the link. Can it work with your method?
