I installed the new COATED 555 LBJ. It sasn't hard at all. Let's see how long these can keep the new look.
I found a receiver in the Advance 4x4 press kit that is an exact fit for the outer edge of the LBJ. I greased the contact surface on the LBJ and LCA, then gave it a couple of taps with my 2bl hammer. It popped into place. I tried to use the Advance press, but it is not wide enough to clear the receiver cup and the press cup that will clear the shaft.
Once I get the new OEM boots, then I will replace the grease with some synthetic polymer waterproof grease.
Please excuse the sun glare.
In a few days, I will be able to compare a new OEM boot.
