Do you have the special $400 press for assembling the metal can portion of the boot? Without the tool, I remember someone reporting success assembling the can with vice grips and such, but I think that it will be a tough row to hoe.

I'm thinking of wrapping a scrap of heavy plastic painter's tarp around the cracked boot and fastening at both ends with zip ties. Thoughts?
