Just to build on what Joe said, the gaiter 'kits' commonly sold have two
different sized 'boots' in them, left-hand side and right-hand side. Make
sure you install the correct one on the correct side, sometimes you don't
notice the subtle size difference (especially when comparing a used
'stretched' gaiter to the ones in the box).
I struggled because of this when I replaced mine.
