Having hard time installing my new horn boot. Lubed it up with dish soap, but it still won't slip on. Openings seem really small compared to horn diameter. Last one I did, three years ago, seemed lots easier. What are the tricks to get these on?

Hot water worked for me. Soak a few mins, stretch. Put horns in from big hole and walk the seal around. Mount loosely, fit front opening and then tighten down. This is just from feeble memory... Embarassed

I unbolted the horns and popped them in from the inside of the boot then remounted the horns. Did not take long at all.
