1. Verify that the boots are not dented or twisted.
2. Set the drive shaft to the standard length.
3. Release any trapped air from inside the boot by using a rag-covered screwdriver.
4. Verify that the drive shaft length is within the standard.
5. If the drive shaft length is not within the standard, return to step 1.
6. Install a new boot band on the boot so that the end of the boot band with slots is pointing opposite the forward revolving direction of the drive shaft.
