Clutch rod boot help

Has anyone ever installed a clutch rod boot? It's the boot that is in the driver floor pan, man it's impossible. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated.

What do mean "impossible"? You disconnect one end of the clutch rod, (the bottom of the rod is easier for me) place the boot over it, and use a small screwdriver and liquid soap as a lube to fit the boot in the hole in the cab floor. It's a tight fit.

If it's too stiff, you could try heating it up to make it more pliable. Heat gun or maybe really hot water, Avoid open flame
