CAC boot help

I was going to change CAC boots and intake manifold boots today. Seems like it would be easier to pull spider from turbo for manifold boots. I believe there is an o-ring there. Any problems reusing if looks good? Any last minute tips or tricks? Again, thanks in advance.

The O-ring is usually fine to reuse. Pulling the spider is straight forward.

...and while you have the spider off, it's a good time to clean it. Mine is a cruddy brownish color. It bugs the heck out of me.
