:Just heat up the boots with a heat gun and stretch them over the rod ends gently.
Thanks for the reply!!
That should work but, you would think that they would've made a little easier to install! The hole that I have to stretch is only 1/2" in diameter but the ball joint end is 1-1/2" in diameter. It appears that once you install the boot, inspecting the ball joint is going to be at least difficult.
