The airboots are a serious PITA. It turns out that Honda uses four-armed gorillas to install them at the factory. If you don't have a four-armed gorilla handy to help you reinstall them a heat gun, or even a hairdryer, will help. Warm them up until they're pliable and get one branch of the 'Y' installed and clamped down, then heat it back up and get the other branch clamped down.
