Dave. Bear with me my memory it is foggy
I believe there is a triangular metal bracket located under your firewall insulation behind the plastic protection plate that holds that boot in place.
The clutch rod is attached at each end with wire clips.
Remove the plastic plate from the inside, peel back the insulation, remove the 3 screws, remove the clip from the clutch rod inside and Wah Lah the boot will slip thru.
Hope this solves your exhaust smell problem!!!!!
