uh... I replaced all of my boots and reused the original flanges. Getting the boots over the lip of the flange takes a bit of strength but once it's stretched over it has the added advantage of retaining the boot a bit. Clamp added of course, wouldn't want to rely solely on the stretch.
I used a bike tire lever (shown in blue in the picture) to help leverage the boot on without risking puncturing the boot. I believe mine were Rein boots, purchased from FCP Euro. Price currently is a bit over $2 each. FCP also has a lifetime warranty on all parts they sell and you don't need to be a professional shop to take advantage of it.  |
