There's also a vent on top of each knuckle that may be sticking on ya'lls then.Thanks, I think you have a good idea on not filling it with grease, it can only lead to blowing the boot again. I think that sure it needs grease but not t extreme, hopefully what packing I did when installing the new boot will be enough. Maybe I'll pull both plugs and stick something like a zip tie in and see how deep the grease is and go from there. The TM's are full of great info but things like this are a pain in the a$$ to find
I was also wondering about the oreintation of the boot, cause the one I've gotten has the clamp groove on one side ( which I know should face the knuckle) but the fabric side of the zipper on the other!!!! And the TM specifically calls for the fabric side of the zipper faceing the knuckle!!! What gives?? I'll check mine good when I get home in case it shows the same as Artisan's.
