Frigidaire Affinity - Rubber Boot Reseal?

I had to do a minor repair to my Frigidaire Affinity Front Loading Washer. I had to pull the entire rubber boot out from the drum including the spring. The problem is, now I can’t get it back in. How do I do this? Any tips on getting this back in?

Getting that boot seal back in is a difficult task on every front loader. You should have one person help you, and here is the service manual for the Affinity with a good discussion on how to do it.
