Installing Steering Rack Boots

[Don.Clark@fluordaniel.com]

     I am replacing worn out the rubber steering rack boots on my '72 
     Midget.  I have finally removed the tie rod end on the driver side.  
     In sliding on the new boot, I have found that the large end of the  
     new boot is somewhat smaller than the end of the metal steering 
     housing.  The engine is in place and I have not removed the radiator.  
     It appears to be a two person deal to stretch the end of the boot over 
     the end of the the metal housing.  Any suggestions before I remove the 
     radiator?
