Did you rip the new boot by trying to use the for to get that ring on?
I would probably try two pairs of locking pliers to hold the ends while pulling them apart to get the clip into place. There is a special tool for spreading that type of clip, but it may not be something that you could get from a local autoparts store.

I hate using pickle forks on the ball joint it always garentees you will damage the boot. This is the actual tool and brand I keep in my tool box for this job
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vweCmGwBiU Its about 20 bucks at harbor freight or around 50 for the entire master kit.

No, that's old stock boot and new one still good. I tried to spread using two locking pliers but it doesn't spread enough to fit. Looks like i need special tool
