I'm replacing my alternator and everything has gone smoothly so far except I'm having trouble installing the new alternator cooling boot. It has the wire inside that I think helps it stay in place. I've had a heck of time trying to install the new one.
Any suggestions or tips to simplify this boot installation? |

Nothing except keep trying.
I did mine on the bench and installed it with the boot attached. |
