That's the truth. The trick is to to do the Z pattern on Jamie's site (I think it was Jamie). One good forceful push down on the plenum with the boots in the right orientation you're usually good to go.
It's MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH easier to do when the carb boots are fresh and have some flexibility to them. I don't know if you've mentioned it yet, but I would just buy those boots, even if the ones you have aren't cracking, because if the one's you have on there are OEM, they probably will.... the ones I had on my 500 were like trying to use a mummy from a pharoah's tomb to provide an airtight seal... not going to happen.
