Axle boot replacement warnings

[David Conner]

OK ... I stand corrected.  Always glad to learn something.  
I'm a novice at a lot of this stuff, incl. wheel bearing replacement.  I
trashed one during install and thought it was due to partial tightening of
the axle nut, but now realize it must have been improperly pressing it into
the housing.
thanks,
Dave C.
