I still have a lot more cleaning to do under there, but at least the boot is looking pretty.
Baby steps, right?
You're already way ahead of me!
First time I put boots on I got the screws in the wrong location!

Nice job. Go get your hands dirty. You have the fasteners so they are accessible when Gunther is back on the ground right?

I guess I will have to find out when he is lowered. We did jack up the wheel end to make it a little bit more level. That made it easier to put the boot on. So, I think I will will be able to get to it if I have to.
Hands dirty doesn't even cover it. That gear oil is messy, and smells.

Lovely work as usual, much better than the square corners that were there!
