rubber boots for lower ball joints.

[johnymac]

I have all new ball jointsand tie rods on my truck 67 C10.
Haven't even driven it yet. Needed to remove the springs and just couldn't brake the lower ball joint without using my fork. I was so careful, but still torn the cheap rubber boots that came with the ball joints.
I even torn a outter tie rod boot. I see replacements, I think the tie rod replacement will work.
Not the lower ball joints, not even close.

Anyone have this problem of trying to find replacement boots?

My last resort is to just buy new parts but like to avoid that. Don't I have apart now and hate to put back togteher knowing I have torn boots.

thanks!!
