Installing New IC boots
I was wondering if there is anything wrong with using a soapy water solution to lubricate the boots for an easier time getting them on. similar to swiping the bead on a tire.

Thanks! It was just a hair brained idea. I used a small flat screwdriver to get the boots off when I did the foil delete and I didn't have much trouble getting them back on. I just got some RR boots however and read here how tight they are to get on. I know I'll get them on, I guess, everyone else manages.
