I would just lose the shock boot mate. The theory is they protect the shaft from dirt and debris that may effect the seal but realistically they serve only to retain moisture which rusts the shaft which damages the seal.

I've run without them for years with no issues and have been through some real gooey crap!

If you do remove it don't mess about with taking the shocks off. Just cut them off. If you then decide you wish you'd left them on for some reason, tell me and I'll post them to you from my stock of unused ones! They're no good to me!

Good job! How did you get them in? Plenty of grease is always a good help I find.

I wound them in on a threaded bar with blocks of wood with holes in as big washers that wouldn't damage the poly.
