Sharon and I went on a nice 100 miles ride in the GT this morning.  
When we got back home I decided on a whim to check the rotoflex 
joints.  A few cracks are forming, one seeming a bit bigger than just 
"insignificant", I think.  They also seem weathered and dried, and 
show a bit of red paint spray which means they were on the car when 
it was painted more than 10 years ago.

I've never replaced one before and it doesn't seem like it should be 
that difficult.  But I recall someone here grumbling about how tough 
it is.  Is it really a difficult job?  Does it require any special 
tools?  Are there any tricks I should know?  (I recall that someone 
said one trick was to install them before removing a binding strap, 
or something.)

Tanks in advance!  (I tank you and my GT6 tanks you.)
