Make sure the boot has a chance to "seat" itself. I left the small ends unclamped. Not saying you should do this, but it gave the boot a chance to seat. You don't want it bunched up to one side.

Right, do not put any kind of clamp on the small end of the boot. It needs to move otherwise it will lead to it's early demise from stretching when the rubber gets hard later in it's life long after you've forgotten all about them.
