Any Hope of Repair?

I've managed to tear the bellows/boot on a ball joint.

Any hope of repairing, patching or replacing of the boot, alone?

Please, someone tell me that I can put some caulk on it!

Yeah.

One boot for another.

I guess "apprx 20mm" means 19.9 to 20.1. The english equivalent just isn't equivalent. Should have filed down the small fork. Live an learn. FORK!

Try to find something about the same size. I'd go to the auto parts store to see what they have in stock.
