    Does the dorman boot come with a cone tool to put the outer boot on? If not, how do I get the outer boot on without taking the joint apart?

    Having only done it once which makes me an expert. Think it would be more of a PITA then the job already is. You might be able to do it the way I did the rancho shock boots, http://www.vehicross.info/modules.ph...warticle&id=33, but it would be a really big PITA trying to get enough screwsticks and fingers in there to do it and always the chance of ripping the new one. But, where there's a will there's a way of course. Could loan you mine if you can wait that long or would think any parts house could order one over night if they don't have it on the shelf and then you would have it next time.
