The knob wouldn't snug down over the shaft. So I tried to tap it down with a hammer and padding but still put a big crack on the top. Re-reading the comments above, maybe a metal file would have helped.
After I got the knob settled, or so I thought, I couldn't get the boot to pull up and attach to the knob. I managed to make two rips in the boot while trying.
I've contacted the seller hoping to get replacement parts without having to pay full price, we'll see if they take pity on me.
So, can anyone give me step-by-step instructions? Any other tips if I'm able to try again with new parts?

If I remember correctly, I attached the boot to the knob first. So file knob opening to fit first, but don't screw down. Take knob back off shaft. Then attach boot to knob, being careful to face the boot the correct way. Place knob and boot on shaft, tighten knob to shaft. Then pull boot down and snap into place. I hope this helps and good luck with replacement
