We changed them tonight along with packing the bearings on the front hubs on the Jubilee. We just rebuilt the motor and are putting things back together. One of the back boots (near the steering box) fit perfectly into the groove in the tie rod end. The other one didn’t really have a groove to push the rubber into. I am not real sure how long it will hold up that way. The boots on the 2N have been bad for 20 years, although I do keep them greased.
