I can't take credit for this idea, but I thought I'd pass it along with added detail after seeing it on another Mopar forum. I've tried putting the urethane boots in boililng water, which did nothing at all. I've heard about putting them in the microwave, but that seemed too risky. What worked well for me was to use a heat gun and gently heat the boots, taking about 2 minutes using a swirling motion around the small end of the boot, moving the gun away if the urethane starts to puddle. Have a friend hold the back end of the torsion bar, and grease the front hex of the bar. Use welding gloves or yard gloves because the boot will get way too hot to hold. After heating the boot, place it over the end of the bar and push with a rocking, twisting motion. If the boot doesn't slip over the bar hex end in 10 seconds it needs more heating. Using this method I installed both boots in less than 10 minutes.:cheers:
