[Tigers] Shift Boot Install Wisdom Needed...

[Larry Mayfield]

Ok, so I removed a shift boot that has been on the Tiger for, lemme 
see,  an even 50 years. Hard as an old tractor tire that has been out in 
the sun for several decades.  I have a new one to install, along with a 
new chrome ring and screws. So I am looking at the reverse lockout bar 
and saying to myself...that looks like it is going to be difficult to 
do, lol.  I see that the lever can be removed but, truthfully, that does 
not look like it will help any at all.  So, I am guessing that the 
proscribed method is to simply stretch that boot over the shaft and the 
lockout bar as best one can. That it?  Does a slight amount of heat from 
a heat gun help any? Silicon spray?   How have some of you folk recently 
done it?

Any help out there?
