b road blaster 0 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 i put a small skrewdriver into the boot then worked it round as i pulled it on but was bloody tight also used very small amount of washing up liquid to help it slide Link to post Share on other sites
rsweeney 40 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 ok thanks will try that, did you do it whilst gearbox was in car etc? and which end of the boot did you stick the screw driver into from? Link to post Share on other sites
b road blaster 0 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 yep in car just used a very small electical one from the fat (g/box) end and just made sure it was blunt so not to puncture the boot and worked it around whilst pulling like a bitch Link to post Share on other sites

b road blaster 0 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 well my kit came with them the proper factory type ones that you pull up like a wire tie then crimp up but i would have thought a wire tie would hold it mate Link to post Share on other sites
