I'm trying to replace the rubber gear shift boot on an 8N but can't get it to seat over the collar the bottom of the shift sits in. Looking for a magic way to get it in position.
 
yep.. heat it and lube the post and seat a bit woith some grease or gear lube.. slip it on fast..

Turn the boot inside out. Then put it over the gearshifter upside down...And roll it back the right way out, over the base like you would put on a condom.

I wonder if anyone has problems with shift boots tearing. I put a new one on my case 210b and it's torn before it had 40 hours use. Then I put a new one on my jeep and when I went to put it in reverse to back it out of the building it tore half way down.
