2020 kubota L3301 tie rod boot Replacement

I just purchased a new 2020 L3301 in April, did my 50hr lube and noticed that one of my front inner boots was separated (see pic)

Should I replace it and what would the part number be?

maybe a good after market boot?

It just looks like the grease pushed the lip of the rubber out. Can you gently just push it back in?

I tried but no luck...

Dealer said under warranty, they ordered a new boot,
I said mail it to me and I will install it...
Question, does the root ring need a special ring tool?

No. Small screwdriver and some patience. Of course you will have to pop the tie rod end out of the knuckle to get the boot on. No biggie. Pull the cotter pin, wack the casting near the tie rod end with a hammer (preferably a brass one and pull the stem out of the taper.

You don't need one. Like I said, wack the casting next to the taper end a couple times and it will come loose....or, put the castle nut back on the threaded end to protect the threads but leave it loose and wack the bottom of the end with a brass hammer. It will pop out.
