    • During reassembly, perform the following:

    • Insert one end of the ring into its groove along the boot's perimeter.

    • Use pliers to slowly stretch the ring around the boot's perimeter until it's completely nested in its groove.

    • Be sure the spring is centered at the bottom of the boot when you reinstall it.
