Blaise,

And there was another one nearby for a jury rig. (Caution - it wastes a lot of time in the video):

John,

Stumbling around on You Tube, I found a Limey innovation:

Panda uses a plastic cone to allow the user to stretch the boot into place.  One user had trouble with the plastic cone.  Another user suggested using a transmission funnel instead of the plastic cone. And using motor oil as the lubricant.

If the MB boot is stretchy enough, we might have a solution.  If not, Panda sells on eBay.  Don't know if we can leap the necessary hurdles.

(Thinking out loud - if the MB boot is stretchy enough for the high dollar stretcher, it should be stretchy enough for the funnel.)

(Anyone know a good lubricant for rubber that is slipperier than motor oil?)

I think a mechanical boot expander could be readily fabricated, operating similar to the pneumatic one in the video...seems less than cost/time effective to replace the boot, tho.
