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.
