    Did a bunch of front end work in 2020. Unfortunately, one of my CV boots already failed. Good news was Rock auto was awesome about replacing on warranty. Bad news was I had to put several hours of labor to fix. It did give me an oppurtunity to fix the seal I didn't quite sit right though.
    I've seen several people use PVC to seat it, which seemed great but I didn't want to run to hardware store, so I made the following 3D file.

    It worked okay, but a pure cylinder is probably better so you can knock in the areas that arent't going.

    Maybe this will help someone else in a pinch.

    Thanks for the file. How long did it take to print it?
