and slide a straight O-ring pick or a small slotted screw

will allow the air pressure to equalize in the CV boot in the
position that the joint will spend most of its life. Before you
remove your instrument, be sure the small end of the boot
is in its correct location on the axle. CARE MUST BE
TAKEN TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE NEWLY
INSTALLED BOOT.
