Have you used that FCP kit for both the inner and outer boot?
I'm going to go that route, I won't force you for a price.

Those circlips, I'm thinking I don't need anything more than a 90 degree needle nose plier, or am I wrong and really need those circlip pliers..

I appreciate you taking the time for your inputs

The circlip plyers make it so much easier that I wouldn't want to do it without them.
Same kit works fine on both ends.
