Use a new rubber boot. Old ones are often either stiff from heat cycling
or rotted from oil exposure and age. If it is convenient (like if you have
the clutch arm in your hand), it helps a lot to grind off the sharp corners
of the "square" to make the corners slightly rounded without sharp edges or
burrs. Then with a little soapy water or a touch of oil the new boot will
slip right on (with moderate force).
