Being careful with a heat gun.

Sit the boots in warm water for a while.

Sit the boots out in the sun for a while.

Hope that helps

Soak the boots in hot anti-freeze; the coolant includes additives and conditioners to keep the rad hoses flexible, and these will soften the carb rubbers so they aren't so much work the next time.

just be careful with walm / hot anti-freeze as the gasses given of are VERY toxic al

If you're not in a huge rush, you can try the trick with wintergreen and xylene. Soak the rubber boots for a bit, and they will go back to being pliable as new. Much less toxic.

Just don't let them sit too long, or they will bloat to twice the size. They eventually go back, but it'll scare the hell out of you.
