The ball joint boots are a real B##ch to get the lower clamps on. I wiped all the greese out of the ball joint. Put the upper clamp on the ball joint boot at the top and slid the unit on. I made sure that it fit correctly at the bottom and then took two very small needle nose plyers and pulled the ends of the clamp in oposite directions and prayed and a few minutes of flustration it was on and worked it into position with a small open end screwdriver like a sewing machine screwdrive. I then used a neadle attachment for my grease gun and carefully slid the neadle beside the tapered shaft and pumped the boot full of grease. Be carefull you will overfill them. You can adjust your filling by sliding a screwdrive like you did the neadle and push grease back out. Be carefull you can easily punch a hole in a new boot. Mine has done fine and both boots were shot on my 98 SET Turbo with 96k.
