Ball Joint Boot replacement - method?
Silly question but what you are using to attach the new boots?
I thought maybe there was a snap ring or something but apparently not.
I just cut off the old boot, grease it, pop on the new one and use the fit between the knuckle and control arm keep it there?
I'm using the C4 poly boots on my front C5 LCA's.

just pack with grease and it gets pressed down. You can always get a needle fitting for a grease gun and inject more under the boot if you a tons of street miles.
